It's already a sub-tree of "attic" -- ie out of date, retained for archive.
The title index is useful:
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/index
Maybe "attic" isn't the best name. Maybe each page should have a header saying "Historical value only". But I hate the idea of outright deletion!

|
| I'm trawling the GHC wiki looking for things that will help me
| understand how the build system works and what might need to change
| for cross-compilation. I stumbled across

| which git helpfully tells me dates from 2008. I assume that none of
| it is relevant any longer.
|
| In its current form, the page seems only likely to confuse future
| contributors. I'd rather not leave things that way. Does the page
| have archival value? Is there a directory of legacy pages to which I
| should move it? Or shall I just delete the current text and replace
| it with a short note? Or what?
