Not sure who posted the wiki or how relevant it is (its a wiki after all :), for example Geany now only supports GTK3, not GTK2.
The official Windows build processes are currently under upgrade as a result, see https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/2590 and https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/pull/1107. Not sure the status and if they are usable yet, but you might find the updated packages used there. IIUC after this is complete it might be possible to make a docker container available to build Geany for windows with all the necessary dependencies, no guarantees though.
