I think that statement alone is a good indicator of why it has to be moved.

Some figures for the interested, btw.

The FAQ had ~7700 reads from ~6300 unique visitors last month.

These people received information that was simply incorrect. I think
that's more than enough people to care about.


As a reference point, the Windows FAQ on the wiki had ~6900 reads from
~5800 unique visitors (the most popular page on the wiki other than the
frontpage). So I think it's pretty clear that putting it on the wiki
doesn't make less people look at it - at least not with the link that's
there from the main site.
