 Hello,

 wxWiki contains a lot of outdated information, but this page even says, at
the top:

        Note: this page is mostly obsolete, wxWidgets documentation has now
        been successfully ported to Doxygen 

so it's at least upfront about it.

the gen

 I have no idea what did this file contain, but the existing Doxyfile is at

        https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/master/docs/doxygen/Doxyfile

I'm not really sure if it contains anything interesting, there are a lot of
idiosyncratic aliases in it, but otherwise it's pretty close to the
defaults.

 To be honest, I don't want to start cleaning up the wiki, there is just
too much there and if I start I'm probably just going to delete 90% of it
and I'm not sure if it's going to make things better or worse.
