Every knowledge base has one. The article from years ago that nobody has updated, nobody has archived, and nobody dares to delete.

What is yours about? And more importantly — why is it still there?

Maybe it is because:

  • Nobody is sure if it is still accurate, but removing it feels too risky 
  • It was written for a product version from years ago but still gets views 
  • The person who wrote it left, and nobody owns it anymore 
  • It keeps getting applied to incidents, so it must be useful... right?

Share your most legendary outdated knowledge item in the comments. And if you have actually cracked how to keep your KB fresh we want to hear that too.
