For anyone following this topic ~ here is an update via the 2025 week #23: SL SUG meeting.
"Given the on-going issues with the SL wiki (the latest being a sustained DDOS-type impact, thought to be caused by “aggressive and improper crawler bots”), it was indicated that LL are planning to move away from using the mediawiki platform to a new service. No details were given on what service this might be, and the statement was followed by numerous appeals for all existing SL wiki data to be ported and/or not lost."

Spidey Linden Could you provide an update on the wiki's status?
It's been 25 days since the "Unscheduled Wiki Maintenance" began, and the wiki has been largely unavailable for the past two days.
Given its importance as a primary resource for SL-related information, we'd greatly appreciate it if this issue could be resolved with higher priority.

Spidey Linden I concur with Drau Resident, the community is long overdue for an update on this issue. The wiki is a critical resource for scripting and other SL info. Every visit seems plagued by "504 Gateway Time-out" for 10 minutes at a time when trying to load pages.
