That's an issue yes. I wanted to write a tool to create snapshots of all links (that aren't found on archive.org).
Together with https://github.com/stevenvachon/broken-link-checker that lets you see what links are broken so they can be replaced. I think you can keep the wiki quite up to date and not lose things.
