Greetings,
I've recently been getting my head around the kselftest system from a standing start. As I do so, it makes sense that I submit any patches to fix or clarify the accompanying documentation while I still have a newbie's perspective, as presumably that is who such documentation is aimed at.
Paragraph three of the "Linux Kernel Selftests" documentation immediately sends me off elsewhere to a wiki which greets me with the ominous warning:
"OBSOLETE CONTENT This wiki has been archived and the content is no longer updated."
The wiki hasn't been updated since 2019, still refers to Freenode as an IRC network where one might find help, and mentions kernel versions that are probably older than some budding kernel developers.
There are a few links to Google docs with slides from presentations given over a decade ago, but I don't think there's much in here that isn't covered more accessibly in the kernel Documentation/
If there's anything in the archived wiki that should be retained, lets move it into the main documentation.
Cheers,
Brett --

Remove the reference to the obsolete kselftest wiki.
The kselftest wiki is marked obsolete and is no longer updated. The last edit was in 2019, and the information is outdated, referring readers for support to IRC networks that have not been used for years, and to kernel versions that are no longer supported.
If there is any relevant information left in the wiki it needs to be cleaned up and moved into the canonical kselftest documentation here.
