The Python community wiki has been archived and its pages are no longer maintained. This PR removes or updates obsolete wiki.python.org references across the documentation:

  • FAQs: Removed stale wiki links (Beginner's Guide, PythonBooks, Web/DB programming, GUI frameworks, performance tips) and linked to :ref:tutorial-index / :ref:editors / PyPI where appropriate.
  • HOWTOs & Guides: Removed archived wiki references from Doc/howto/gdb_helpers.rst and Doc/using/editors.rst.
  • Library Docs: Removed outdated wiki links in Doc/library/tk.rst and Doc/library/unittest.rst.
  • What's New: Removed archived decorator wiki link in 2.4 and updated 3.2 sorting tutorial link to :ref:sortinghowto.

Hi, I see some of the wordings are exactly the same as in the previous PR, so I guess this is based on that work. If so, please add the original author to the commit message as a co author:

The list of alternatives that followed has been removed, so this sentence reads a bit odd now. I'd suggest removing it too.
