Has anyone considered putting in a mechanism for moving nodes from Categorized Questions and Answers to Seekers of Perl Wisdom? Q & A should be a respository for more general questions - common problems that come up frequently - as opposed to questions about a specific instance or problem.

For example, How do I preserve file times when using Net::FTP? is a really good example of a good Q & A question - it's a general topic. A node like How can I create a file named "default.asp?11=1"? (which is a perfectly good question to ask) seems like a specific topic more suited for SOPW - but there's no way (that I know of) to move it there.

I guess my concern is keeping the clutter out of the Categorized Q & A section. As it says there:

If you have a specific question that you would like a timely response to, then the place for your question is Seekers of Perl Wisdom. If it's a general question that has been asked a lot, and you have some really good answers for it lined up, then add those here.

Or do we just continue to hope that users read Where should I post X?....
