Replace it with something like:

The openSUSE wiki has been completely revamped and we are currently in the process of migrating articles from the old wiki instance to the new one. Not all articles will be moved to the same location as in the old wiki instance, so please '''[[Special:Search/all:{{PAGENAME}}|search for this article]]'''.
If you cannot find what you are looking for, you may still find it in the old wiki instance at http://old-en.opensuse.org/{{urlencode:{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}. Please help us moving this page to this new wiki instance if it hasn't been migrated, yet.
Last, you may, of course, also [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=edit}} edit this page].

I like this idea. This would definitely help people understand things are 'missing' for now and give them alternatives.
-Matt It is better than the status now.
But I do still see no reason why the new wiki should hide the corresponding/copied-and-pasted 'new' article from someone that enters the exact URL of the old place of that article in her/his browser. If the user goes to http://en.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ why should someone presume that the user does *not* want to see http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bug_reporting_FAQ ? I do not see any prove or at least any indication why giving structure has to go hand in hand with such paternalism. If a user likes new wiki concept better than the old - maybe he will use the internal search or go to linked pages or via the new navigation features form that page to other pages in the wiki? But if the user just does not get the page he wanted at the fist place and also cannot find it with the internal search - maybe he will just be annoyed and leave the wiki?
