How do we want to define "outdated pages"? Many pages are seemingly(!) outdated, but in reality they are needed (e.g. for the daily voluntary support on mailing lists or in forums). Look e.g. at the extremely important pages with technical info for the creation of extensions: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Extensions These pages are outdated in parts, but still there is no more current information. We don't need a super solution, we just need a reliable(!) archive for previous web and wiki pages, i.e. an archive of which we are sure that it includes all previous content. Of course, an 'intelligent' search engine tagging would be a nice-to-have, but I wouldn't really want to spend time on that, especially since, as I just described with an example, it's difficult to clearly tell which pages are really outdated. Much easier, and imho functionally sufficient, would be a footer on each archive page informing that this is an archive page plus a link to the start page (web and wiki) of the current pages.
