Installing WordPress is a critical user function and users are actively look for "Install WordPress" documentation.

As we currently have it, the top level item is "Before you install" and installation documentation is included in that section. That isn't expected. As a user you would expect the opposite where install prerequisites are included in the install section.
Additionally, if a user has a collapsed menu, you wouldn't know where to find the install steps.

Proposal:

As for the content of "Install WordPress", we can take the top of the current How to Install WordPress which seems to fit nicely:

Install WordPress
WordPress is well-known for its ease of installation. Under most circumstances, installing WordPress is a very simple process and takes less than five minutes to complete. Many web hosts now offer tools (e.g. Fantastico) to automatically install WordPress for you. However, if you wish to install WordPress yourself, the following guide will help.

Things to Know Before Installing WordPress
Before you begin the install, there are a few things you need to have and do. Refer the article Before You Install.
If you need multiple WordPress instances, refer Installing Multiple WordPress Instances.

Proposed Changes

  • Move "Install WordPress" to top level
    • Copy content from "how to install" for landing page.
  • Move "Before you install" as first item under "Install WordPress"
  • Update url structure to /before-install/ -> /install-wordpress/
  • Add rewrites for changes..
