So the idea, other than just providing the deletion log if a wiki was deleted, is to provide something along the lines of the old Wikia home page with image links to related and big wikis.

So NoSuchWiki no longer uses HTTP_REFERER as browsers don't set this often enough for this to be reliable.

Assuming most of our log entries are written to be "user safe", there should be nothing wrong with exposing the reason and date behind a wiki deletion (or multiple if that is the case).
They probably are (although I wouldn't want to go through all of them, or write a script to dump 'em either), but a lot of the time the reason isn't even interesting. A lot of them are like "request" or "ticket #so-and-so" or something like that -- obviously the deletion was requested since creators can't delete their wikis, and osTicket is a private communication channel between users and us; a user isn't able to view tickets created by others, so the fact that a wiki was deleted due to "osTicket #9803280" tells them absolutely nothing, I'm afraid.
We should consider that the creator/admin isn't going to be the only one looking at a wiki.
This is obviously true, hence why Special:DeleteWiki is staff-only instead of something that'd allow admins/stewards to delete any wiki that they've created.
