Please put a link to this page on the module description:
http://drupal.org/node/110238 - "How to update a module's weight"

I was about to use the module_weights module shipped with util, when I asked myself if it wouldn't be sufficient to simply hack the database, from the mysql commandline. I had a look at the code, because I was not sure if the weight field is really all I need to change.

This doc page gives the answer.
So, I thought, why not add a link to the doc page, making it more transparent to developers what the module_weights module does.

Which is, in essence,
UPDATE system SET weight = 4 WHERE name = 'modulename';

Thanks.

I don't see this link on the module page.

Are you using the latest -dev release? It will be the last line of the text at the top of the page.

I am looking at
http://drupal.org/project/util
and also at
http://drupal.org/node/598638

Are these pages auto-generated with text from cvs?
I don't even know if this is possible, but for all the modules that I work on, the module page and the documentation have to be updated manually, by clicking "edit" and "save".

Title: module_weights: Link to documentation page. » Documentation needs work

Yes, the documentation page needs a lot of work.
