Wiki pages for standard modules were created as an English 
translation of Russian docs long time ago, when there were no 
official English docs.  Since then, official English became 
available.

In past years we've faced multiple cases of old/incorrect/missing 
descriptions on wiki confusing people, so these pages were 
deprecated and links were changed to official docs instead.  
Moreover, changing pages to do redirects instead was recenly 
discussed.  Supporing multiple versions of the documentation isn't 
something we want to spent time on, and bit rot on these pages on 
wiki can't be just ignored.

What exactly do you find "much more readable"?  Wording?  Design?  
May be it's something that can be improved in the documentation?
