The wiki contains a bunch of information, most of it outdated. As the pages all touch on separate subjects, separate things need to happen to some of them:

the changelog can be ported 1:1 (see #16)
Process pages (how what will be done or has been done) can be deprecated without replacement. This particularly applies to completed proposals, old bug lists and such
Community contribution pages can be ported to the relevant section in audacity support
Feature requests/proposals will be ported to the feature requests project if applicable. @LWinterberg
Information for blind users should be ported to audacity support
GSoC idea pages can be deprecated without replacement
Developer/code specific stuff may be ran by Paul. If it's still relevant/useful, port to https://github.com/audacity/audacity/wiki, if not, deprecate without replacement.
non-Audacity related tips & tricks may be incorporated into support articles if vaguely related. If not, they can be deprecated without replacement.
Cleanup https://plugins.audacityteam.org/contributing/developing-your-own-plugins-and-scripts/creating-your-own-nyquist-plugins from wiki syntax and examples. Crosscheck with the corresponding wiki pages to see how it's supposed to look. https://github.com/audacity/audacity-support/issues/7 for more info
remove the link to https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/User:Galeandrews from the credits @LWinterberg
port and update https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audiobook_Mastering into the Audio Editing section
port https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Recovering_crashes_manually for 2.4.2 users as a subpage to https://support.audacityteam.org/troubleshooting/recovering-corrupted-projects

~~mark pages you have visited with {{deprecated}} in the wiki source code.~~ no longer necessary
