Microsoft Teams News: Wiki Page Retiring in January 2024 & There Are Things You Must Do
REVISED: Regarding the Wiki Libraries in SharePoint, the wiki pages will remain on SharePoint. However, the Wiki Page and App are not available in January 2024.
I created a video on exporting the Wiki libraries content to a zip file and opening the pages into a Word file as a BACKUP. It will be available later this week. I will update this post with the link when it is available.
Stay tuned.

I checked the Message Center in the Admin Center today and Microsoft's last update was March 17th. In my post early in this thread on March 14th, the only change was the rolling out date from early March to late March.
In response to your question, my Wiki Page banner also states:
"Wiki tabs in channels will go away starting June 2023. You can export your content to a new Notes tab that will be created for this channel."
It appears to me (as a non-MS employee) that MS forgot to change the date to January 2024. Also, MS mentioned that the Wiki Page will be unsupported starting June 2023.
I will also add that a Microsoft Team Member has marked one of my posts as the best answer where I had referenced the January 2024 retirement date.
I agree that the communications are confusing. If you find this information helpful, please like this post. Thank you in advance.

- Yes, super confusing esp. regarding to the (never updated) 3-phase announcment:
I just quoted to my community of over a tousand keyusers the following steps or (safe) recommandations. Even MS will prob not know for sure. So safety and migration first:
[very shortend]
1) from now on: Export-function and prob in weeks block of new wikis. But still access to tabs...to convert
2) someday in 2023 (might even be June! if Teresa isnt right that they forgot to change June in 2024): Block of these tabs as well. Access and convert option only on a way not regarding the tabs
3) 2024: Complete (well not for admins) block of everything.
So: Convert till early summer! - I think unsupported means - you're on your own. Do what you want and if something breaks...we ain't fixin' it type of thing.
You are correct.
I encourage all to continue sharing information, concerns, or challenges in this thread.
