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.

The Wiki App is the Icon which is used to add a Wiki Tab to MS Teams.
The clickable Wiki Tab located at the top of the MS Team Channel Ribbon contains many Wiki Pages of your content.
Phase 1: Starting in April through Dec 31,
1) Users can not create any new Wiki Tab/Pages which uses the Wiki App icon to add the tab/pages. The Wiki app icon is still listed in the app list but with limited functionality.
2) A banner to export content to OneNote will appear in Teams Channel. Once the Wiki Page is converted to OneNote, the Wiki Tab/Pages becomes readonly.
Phase 2: In the summer,
1) MS will no longer support Wiki App and Wiki Tab/Pages. If something goes wrong, you can not call MS to fix it. My thoughts are start exporting sooner than later in case, you need help.
2) Everything I mentioned in Phase 1 applies.
Phase 3: Jan 2024.
1) The Wiki App icon and Wiki Tab/Pages will be LOCKED or HIDDEN from Team Channel ribbon.
2) Users can not read/write/export the content in the Wiki Tab/Pages from MS Teams. You can only download content from SharePoint.
3) The Wiki App icon will not be listed in the app list.
I hope this helps.

Thx Teresa_Cyrus
esp. the detail about the support.
I think this sentence in original Phase 2 MS-description is not proper at least confusing: "users will be easily able access (read/write) content in Wiki app."
But you helped here.
I will multiplicate that to all public broadcasters admins in GER.
Cheers
I am glad I was able to help. Please like the previous post so it can help others with the same question.
