The Wiki creation policy says "You must agree".. "that the content of the wiki will be freely licensed. " There is also an acceptance of "fair use" content (especially images) but if the content is fair use, it's fine for the future wiki to use it as much as the current one.

If the content is under the CC license, then you grant "a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license" (emphasis mine).

The Terms of Use say "When you post content on the Site, you authorize and direct us to make such copies thereof as we deem necessary in order to facilitate the posting and storage of the content on the Site. " There is no provision for withdrawing this authorization.

And, of course, the Terms of Use do not cover many social rules that exist on wikis - for example, if I blank 30 pages on this wiki right now, I would expect to be banned straight away. And yet there is not explicit line in the ToS that says "you must not blank pages".

All in all, what this comes down to is the fundamentals of wikis. They are created by people who often edit and move on, and what they create remains behind them. That's all I'm asking here; I respect your desire to move on, I ask that you leave without damaging the site for anyone who wishes to use it in the future.
