Active bug tracking and feature requests are good ideas but they never worked effectively on the old wiki. Some of those pages are obviously abandoned, e.g. the last update to System/Library/Bugs was 4 years ago, and in case the library is now very different from 4 years ago.
I think a fresh start is needed, though I don't know in what form. What would be useful, for example, is that when we start a new beta, there is a list of bugs and features to be addressed, and we could check these off as we go along. Is that a possibility on the new wiki, or do we need a separate system? Also, if you wanted to copy information from the old pages to new pages in MW, it is probably just as easy to cut and paste from the display page, rather than try to convert the syntax from the source. If you did have specific pages you want copied over, I can do that, but the reworking and clean up would be up to you. And I think only up-to-date and relevant items should be preserved.
