@susanHanley is correct. And I've used her process on my O365 User site. You do not need a new site, but you will need all new pages. Unfortunately you can't "convert" wiki pages to site pages. Here's my example:
On my User site, I have a site column for "O365App" so I can tag things as SharePoint, Teams, Planner, etc. Since my content is posted both as pages (tips & tricks, links to resources, MVP blog posts, Microsoft documentation) and as documents (mostly presentations from conferences I've attended), I've added that column to both the site pages AND document libraries and tagged content appropriately. I have a page for each application and on each page, I have highlighted content web parts that shows all the content from my site that I've tagged for that application. Actually, I have 2 web parts because I want to segregate out the conference presentations from the pages/posts.
So now users can come to my site and choose how to find information. They can go to the SharePoint page or the Teams page or the Planner page and browse through all the stuff I've posted about that topic OR they can search for a topic.

thanks for the reply. but not sure what do you exactly mean by "User site"? are you talking about onedrive site?
- Rachel_DavisMay 22, 2019Iron ContributorSorry, that's just our nickname for the site. The full name is "O365 Collaboration User Adoption" site. We call it the User site for short. It's a modern, group-enabled Team site.
