I'd rather advocate to simply update data to last version, and precise on every page what version was it true for. So people can then look at changelogs and easily see if things changed since.There's a ton of work honestly. Because of all the different versions of the wiki that are mixed together it's extremely hard to just update the wiki up to v2.2.3.
I think the best way forward is to do something similar to what I did with the barn page where I separated all the information based on the game's version (we could do Original, HF and whatever the current version is). This way older information can be preserved or even expanded upon properly and we can ensure that the wiki is updated for the current version of the game as well as easily updatable for future ones (you would only need to read the changelong and make the relevant edits before declaring that the page was updated as opposed to not knowing from which game version the information of the page is from). I'll try to go through a couple of pages tomorrow and I'll see how well that goes.
If you want to you could look at all the pages and check for information that's easily verifiable in-game. There's also some sections like Uncle Bo's shop that could be expanded upon. If you do happen to make changes before I version the pages I can still check what was previously on them and use the newer edits for the v2.2.3 category.
It's a lot of work but if it's done properly future editors won't have the same problems that we've inherited from years of edits.
Having a page stage infos for different versions makes a newcomer believe that the community is spliced between versions (that some people are still playing 1.21, and others 1.7.5) and will ask themselves which one to choose from. It'll bloat pages for no reason and make your contribution hard to read.
Old infos are still preserved, as the wiki saves and dates every edit, so one would just need to back to 2018 for infos relevant to 1.7.5.
