Import the old mediawiki content from http://docs.jquery.com/Types and migrate it in with the existing page.

We've already put it on http://api.jquery.com/Types/ and have updated it there, so better to get it from there. Currently we're linking to IDs in the api.jquery.com/Types/ page from the "Returns" links on method pages ( e.g. api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/ has a "Returns" that links to http://api.jquery.com/Types/#jqXHR ).

Hm, so then perhaps the remedy here is to turn the types page into more of basic information about the notion of types and how to deal with them in JavaScript and when a knowledge of types becomes imperative. (Understanding how to deal with stringy css values that come back, and a million other places)

yeah, I think that makes more sense for the learn site. Also like how typeof null === typeof {} && typeof [] === typeof {} and maybe how $.type() helps you know what you're really dealing with and how you can figure it out yourself.

We should merge this page and the testing types page and discuss the new $.type in the combined page.

Should we have duplicate content then? Shouldn't we just link to the api site? Or they to us?
