That's trivial and just a matter of writing a single line like
[[redirect:Windows/NewWindowsPage]]
in the old page.

Just to be clear, not a seprarate wiki but a separate group (basically a
separate namespace for the page names).

I'm guessing an initial thought was to have separate pages for the
different windows versions...

I don't know of a reason either.. but I'm not familiar with the windows
version of LyX at all on the other hand...

Then it's probably enough to just put a warning on top of that page,
saying it's obsolete.
Btw, it's not like there's not room to store the wiki pages on the
server... I just brought up this issue because it seemed that it was
getting crowded on the pages, i.e. making it difficult to find the
relevant information and editing it.

It's good to be an optimist!
Anyway, I've gone ahead and created a group called 'Windows'. You can
"move" pages to that group if/when you feel like it. Right now that page
simply refers to the old pages - well, some of them.
