Trying to kill the 3 remaining wikis that we host. Wikis were a nice idea back in 2000's, but these days it's a constant struggle against spammers and AI farms that descend on your sites like locust and consume all resources until the system falls over.

@monsieuricon What, if anything, are you replacing them with? I have a similar problem at my job.

@kuoirad sphinx-built RTD sites. Or anything statically generated will do, really.

@gromit I'm either archiving them or converting them to sphinx/RTD style docs. The three remaining wikis that I need to deal with are: wireless.wiki.kernel.org parisc.wiki.kernel.org and perf.wiki.kernel.org

@gromit I already have a port of wireless.wiki.kernel.org to RTD -- I just need the buy-in from the maintainers. :) E.g. see the preliminary build at https://www.kernel.org/doc/projects/wireless/
