Maybe this can be an action item for someone to tackle?

I think not, but I take this action item.  I was planning to write a few
guides on our workflow

Agreed for both items.

Agreed, but my worry is that the admin team has power to do things that
could lead into data loss if not careful.  But this can be easily fixed
if the new members of the admin team (who want to activtly work on
cleaning the wiki) are trained before they start working on cleaning up
the wiki.  Or make backups of the pages to be deleted as a just in case
sort of thing.  But the question is where?  I think doing this on the
wiki will not work since it confuse users.

Just a wonder, what questions did you want to ask?
