We even have a guide for doing this: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Delete_a_wiki
Have we ever deleted a wiki (from a database point of view). I remember years ago we tried, but I don't remember if we actually did it, I think we simply left it as "delete" but never actually went ahead and deleted the database (which I am fine with as testcommons is only 137M on disk - so probably not worth the risk of trying to delete it for the first time.)
Maybe @Jdforrester-WMF remembers that discussion we had years ago? :)

Okay, thanks. IMO deletion should happen as there's no use for the contents of the test wiki.
That depends on whether the intention is still to delete the wiki completely or if closing it is sufficient.
@Zabe is there any more work to be done, or can this task be closed?
I closed the wiki now since by now basically all of it's traffic were spambots.

@CBogen Could you answer this question?
@Jdforrester-WMF Is this wiki still needed?

The wiki is scheduled to be closed and deleted in December 2019, so don't get too attached to it!

Tested on production and main features work. Will consider points about scrolling to error messages for future UploadWizard updates.

Checked in betalabs - all specs seems to be in place including "Copy statements to files ..." -> "Copied!" buttons. Moving back 'Verify in Production'.
