One note: we can keep the pages, but maybe remove all content and instead just have each page link to the corresponding new doc page with a "please update your bookmarks" note. Alternatively, a simple banner at the top of each page saying "This wiki is deprecated and may be out of date. Please refer to (url) instead" would work :)
Thanks for opening this, I'm still determined to close #3104 :D

Right now, there are three user-facing first-party resources containing Mocha documentation separate from this repo:
IMO it's weird to have two places to find the primary docs (the site & the wiki). Now that we're overhauling the primary docs (#5207 -> #5246), I think they're a lot better suited for including the ancillary information typically put in the wiki.
The wiki is also super old and outdated. Other than a kind edit by by @mark-wiemer it hasn't been touched since 2022, when it was receiving fewer than a half dozen edits per year on average back through 2020.
Proposal: once the docs overhaul is shipped to users, let's:
Note that we don't know what community resources point to the wiki, so we can't delete it or rename pages. Those URLs need to stick around.
Additional Info
Sparked by #5247: which is one example of the quirks you can get from working with the old GitHub wiki features.
We noted in #5027 that we didn't intend to overhaul any major resources such as the wiki. But that was a year ago, and we've learned about in the maintenance cycle since. Intentions can change over time!
