Wiki Update and Cleaning Policy?

Hi all!

Just general thoughts

Is there some kind of policy to remove old/deprecated stuffs from the wiki, like all the hotplug things for example?

Because the wiki is nice but if you have too much information (and some that is deprecated) it will start to be a mess.

Maybe there could be a way to notify the authors that their wiki page is outdated/deprecated so that he can fix it (and sometimes even remove it).

It's a wiki Someone may have written the original page, but anyone can change it - although notifying the author is a decent thing to do.

Yes I know anybody can change it, but how can one notify the author (and also know who he is) ?

The history tab for the page shows you who started it, who contributed, etc. In most cases, the author's name will be the same as here on the forum, so you can send a PM.
