The references page in the wiki should be replaced by the content of the auto generated Filters, Reader and Writers reference that is available in ParaView.

It actually used to be the case here : [https://www.paraview.org/OnlineHelpCurrent/](https://www.paraview.org/OnlineHelpCurrent/)

But this does not exists anymore.

This kind of content should be moved to markdown in the repository itself for versioning. We should move away from the wiki going forward.

I’m not sure markdown is the answer here, as the content is already available in the XML and uses to generate the “OnlineHelp”.
