The article for Custom grid size (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Custom_grid) still exists in the newest namespace, despite not applying anymore and being practically useless. DF dynamically resizes the window and if I understand it correctly, also corrects "illegal" or nonsensical values in the init files.
The only information that is still relevant is how you set the default window size, but that's maybe 3 sentences and would fit well in other articles: the main graphics page (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Graphics) or the tileset page (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Tileset) or the tileset page (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Tileset), or maybe just the page about the init files (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Technical_tricks) for example. In either case, it's hardly enough for its own page.
So how do you deal with a page like this? Just mark it for deletion in namespaces it doesn't apply to anymore?

You can probably replace it with a redirect to init.txt in the newer namespaces.

Done for 40.xx, how far back did those changes go anyway? 31.xx or earlier?
Also, more generally: what should I do about hypothetical cases where there just isn't anything to redirect to? Delete only one namespace? Or just write a stub article with something like "in earlier versions bla bla, this has been removed now"?
