If your organization has not enabled OneNote you can review this documentation: Deployment guide for OneNote [FAQs:] Why is Teams retiring wiki? Our users’ needs for note taking are evolving every day and the current capabilities & infrastructure of Wiki will not be able to cater to those needs in future. We understand that moving away from wiki is a difficult change and we want to help our users throughout the changes. How can I take notes in channels after this change? New channels will now come with a OneNote notebook (M365 brand for note taking). OneNote brings goodness of richer formatting, better organization, search within OneNote app and keeps the experience consistent across M365. When & how are we retiring Wiki?

Users also have the option to export their content to OneNote. Once users export their content to OneNote, the Wiki is available as read only. After exporting, each wiki in a channel appears as separate section in OneNote and each Wiki page will be a separate page in OneNote. Stage 2 – (Timeline – Mid CY23) Wiki tab in channel will not be supported; users will be easily able access (read/write) content in Wiki app. Users can also export their content to OneNote. Stage 3 – (Timeline – Jan 2024) Wikis tab and wiki App wouldn't be able to accessible in Teams and users wouldn't be able to export. Users can download their wiki files from SharePoint. What happens to my existing data? Your data is accessible from SharePoint as per retention policy even after Wiki is deprecated. You can download wiki content from SharePoint. Does end user need to export wiki one by one or in bulk? End users will have to export wikis one by one per Wiki tab.

Any team member who has access to add/remove tab in a channel can export their Wiki. Is there a bulk export option available at tenant level? No, users can export their wikis as per their convenience.
