Documentation outdated, undescribed benefit

Created on 9 May 2025, 8 days ago

Problem/Motivation

Upon reviewing the Migrate Tools module's project page, the description highlights Drush commands as the primary benefits. However, Drush already provides these commands without requiring the installation of the Migrate Tools module. The description mentions some minor benefits:

The code-base that made its way into Drush 10.4 was from an earlier and simpler fork of this module's code.

The current documentation does not clearly explain the benefits of the Migrate Tools module. If Drush can display migration status and run imports more simply, there seems to be no need to install an additional Drupal module that adds numerous PHP classes to my project, potentially introducing complexity and bugs. This makes the Migrate Tools module appear somewhat redundant or misleading. Additionally, there is no explicit documentation page for Migrate Tools, making it difficult to understand its unique benefits.

Proposed resolution

  • Highlight Unique Benefits: Clearly describe the unique benefits of Migrate Tools on the project page
  • Clarify Installation Reasons: Explain why and when users should install Migrate Tools
  • Compare with Drush: Detail scenarios where Drush is insufficient and Migrate Tools provides added value
  • Showcase Strong Features: Emphasize the robust functions of the Migrate Tools module
