There are so many types of people that use a Knowledge Base, and over the years, I've been able to identify distinct personas, so to speak. Two common archetypes are the Streamliner and the Guardian. The Streamliner isn't overly attached to documentation. They have no qualms about deleting content forever and they're not precious about where information lives. Quick to start new documents, but they might forget about them as swiftly. Contrary, we have the Guardian. They're meticulous about organizing and preserving information. They like to maintain a record of content, keeping some sort of track of the information. Never feeling 100% comfortable removing stuff, mindful that someone might, at some point, need it.
