wiki.dlang.org is currently powered by MediaWiki.
How about replacing it with a Git repo, a static site generator
and GitHub pages?
There are currently 569 pages in the wiki (plus a few
talk/discussion ones).
Many of them have very little content. I estimate that I could
transform them easily with a little machine assistance to a
different format like Markdown.
dlang.org is maintained on GitHub, too.
Another thing to note is that malicious changes to the current
Wiki go easily under the radar.

should not be a thing. Even worse, it says, “This page was last
edited on 12 September 2025, at 02:04.”
In other words: Spam goes unnoticed for over 10 months…
Looking forward to hearing your feedback! :)
