Although you can edit a device page in the hardware database just as you can any other Confluence page, you may find it more convenient to use makepage.py. This command repeatedly prompts for a page ID or sticker URL for a page that's a child of the page "Unused HWDB pages". It checks that the page title is of the form "Unused HWDB page n" where n is a positive integer. Once you've selected the page the command prompts you for serial number, device class and type reference and updates the page accordingly. You're then asked to where you want to move the page.
makepage.py will add a comment to the page giving the "date of birth", e.g., ""
