Sorry, didn't intend to start a discussion, mainly wanted to point to
what I think may be a bigger google search issue :)

This is not so much about wiki internal links, but other websites. We
can change all our links to point to the new version, add a good
sitemap, etc, but most other websites will still link to the old page,
and so it's likely to be ranked higher because of that.
