There seems to be no unified documentation on how to create a module
that actually works. The tutorial is currently a "hodge-podge" of
instructions for 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6.


There is currently no documentation on how to actually write a module
for 4.7 that might actually work.


For those still working on legacy code, the 4.6 and 4.5 versions of the
pages should be archived and linked to.

And with 5.0 imminent, it'll need to be updated again real soon.

beginner is writing one for 5.0.  I think we'll just leave the 4.7
tutorial tagged for 4.7.

Thanks for the work sepeck! I'm afraid it seems that someone has already
superseded the 4.7 documentation with the mythical 5.0.


Once again writing with Drupal feels like getting dragged behind a bus.
4.7 isn't even stable yet (in terms of essential modules fully working
with it) yet head has moved on to 4.8 and the documentation is polluted
with  5.0. 


The damage to your skin caused by friction with asphalt is called "road
rash". That trail of blood you see behind Drupal is "code rash".
