The Policy for the mwiki is and has been since the days of

All I am attempting to do is to explain what longstanding policy has been
for the wiki. If the community wants to change that fine I do believe it
needs a [Discusstion] thread of it's own rather than just a change of
topic in a related thread.
Not meant as any Critics towards you. I believe that we should reduce
the pages that we carry around.
And less pages means more control over documentation.
On the Wiki a lot of people wrote plans, Ideas or Work coordinations.
For example Damjan Documented his gmake port work somewhere,
which has some state. (I would not Archive it yet, but it's worth is
counted.)

I think there are a substantial amount of pages that we can drop.
However I have no numbers. Maybe we add a Category Archive in order to
get an Overview.
I think there is an Archive Template. At least I have seen something on
the older pages, that were outdated.
I think though we can add metadata and a template to quickly mark pages as
obsolete. Redirection or inserted link using additional metadata is possible.
This is a few hours work to setup. I would volunteer to enable it.

+1, to this plan.
I think sounds like good first steps, and Ideas. Thanks for Keith and
Dave for your thoughts.
