My knowledge of MediaWiki is not good enough to give a definitive answer,
but it seems that active editing stopped at the end of 2021.
One of most actively edited articles seems to be "GitHosting":
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php?title=GitHosting&action=history
It seems that it is mostly edited by editors who are promoting Git hosting
they are affiliated with. Article "Interfaces, frontends, and tools" also
got a lot of edits in 2020 and some in 2021:
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php?title=Interfaces,_frontends,_and_tools&action=history
Diff of the latest edit on the article "Git" is a bit telling:
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php?title=Git&diff=31274&oldid=8420
Website https://git-scm.com existed in some form since at least 2008,
current website's initial commit dates to 2012-03-06, but the article
"Git" on the wiki didn't have a link to it until 2019. The article also
hasn't been edited at all between 2010 and 2019.
