Apparently Linden Lab have been cleaning up the SL wiki in recent days and there is a sense of anger from the SL community. This message appears when you visit the SL wiki at the moment.
Please excuse the dust! We’re cleaning up and reorganizing the Second Life wiki.
Around 80 or so Linden Lab employees and ex-Linden pages have been deleted. It would have been nice if Linden Lab asked around during inworld meetings first and archive the pages like the archived threads on the SL Forums. Removing part of Second Life history is not good at all.
Tateru Nino received a official Linden explanation about the deleted pages from the SL wiki.
“After a careful review of the content, we’ve removed a number of pages from the Second Life wiki as part of an ongoing clean-up effort, designed to make that resource more current, more helpful, and less confusing than it has been in the past. Where appropriate, we’ll move valuable content (relevant tutorials, for example) to other pages.“
Most of the pages did have useful SL information on them and this deletion is a huge blow. The SL wikia you can still find town hall transcripts, Linden profiles and historical Second Life content.
What do you think of the deletion of SL wiki pages ?

They could have done an archive of the “old” pages…

I suspect the users of the wiki are such a small percentage of the population, it doesn’t matter.
The wiki is huge and very poorly linked. For a wiki it is hard to use. There are a massive number of pages with no incoming link. If I did not have a reader tracking the changes to the wiki there are tons of stuff I would never see. Unless I bookmark it, I can’t return to it. It is actually more effective to search my reader than search the wiki for specific information.
The wiki needs lots of help. I think the Lindens have to keep trying to clean it up.

It’s just a shame.
