From [the log of the vtk wiki](https://vtk.org/Wiki/index.php?title=Special:Log), it looks like most entries from 2023 (most of them entered in spurts in February, July and August) contain questionable content. From a cursory glance, there’s even potentially dangerous content (links to external websites and uploaded pdf files).
