I have been through various wiki migrations and so on (and on, and painfully on). And yes, there's a lot of rot, and unfleshed skeletons, and potemkin villages of Sharepoint subsites, and so forth. And there's no structure or consistency because everything is self-service.
The term is outdated but the need is not: to tame this kind of thing, you need a webmaster, a person who has been granted the authority to create structure, to move things, to say "This belongs somewhere else" or "If you don't update this I am going to take it away." This is a person who has a responsibility to run a link checker and to see when the last time a page was accessed.
It's a real need, but we just forgot about it during the fragmentation of all things web-related.
