MicrosoftNow in public preview: Future of wiki and Notes in Teams
Description
We are announcing that Wiki's will be retired from Teams starting January 2024. We are offering note taking capabilities within Teams channels using the included OneNote notebook provid...
Impressive reaction time ....
Deprecation of wiki was announced beginning last year, export functionality was there for months, it is no gone since January and now you begin to miss the very importantdata which is now gone for more than a month. WOW
Anyhow you can still export the data from SharePoint: Where are Wiki pages in Microsoft Teams stored, and how do you back them up? - Cyber Resilience Blog (backupassist.com)
Evidently I misunderstood what was happening. I thought the wikl would remain without the ability to edit it, not that it was going to be deleted entirely. This is beyond unacceptable.
We desperately require a simple wiki for our enterprise. It's obvious that OneNote is NOT a replacement. What are others using?

- Just try OneNote, it is a very good replacement for wiki. wiki had to less feature for a good wiki, OneNote is really great for that. Just try it.
- NO.
I can not comprehend or take anyone seriously who believes OneNote is a wiki. It's like replacing a bicycle with a freight train.It always depends on how you use it. We are running a OneNote Wiki-Notebook with several 100 hundreds of articles and our users like it. Especially as it has all the features built-in which were missing in Wiki like a good search engine, OCR functionality, templates, customizability etc.
OneNote really isn't a Wiki replacement, they have a different purpose. A wiki is all about sharing information to a wide group of people in a way that happens to be simple to edit and update. OneNote is about making notes for yourself or as part a close knit team. The presentation and functionality are different, one is good for one thing and the other good for something else. They are not equivalent tools despite the superficial overlap in functionality.
Anyone not happy about losing the Wiki should say so here: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/3e6e4550-00e9-ed11-a81c-0022484e6a77 although it looks like it is too late now 😞
- You might be right in some points, but Teams Wiki never has been a real Wiki, due to fact of missing essential Wiki functionality.
