Change the Scratch Wiki URL to wiki.scratch.org

Currently, the wiki's url is scratch-wiki.info. It used to be wiki.scratch.mit.edu
It was changed because the Scratch Wiki was no longer completely managed by the Scratch Team, so moving to scratch-wiki.info made it independent.
Since Scratch is moving to scratch.org, I suggest that the wiki should be moved to wiki.scratch.org by default.
It's shorter than the current url, and would seem more trustworthy and official in links.
Also, .org sites are much more trusted than .info sites
The current url would still redirect to wiki.scratch.org.
About the independence of the Wiki, Scratch is completely independent from MIT, yet its current url is “scratch.mit.edu”. Using this logic, the Wiki can be independent even on wiki.scratch.org.

The Scratch Wiki isn't owned by the Scratch Team, but i don't support because the normal wiki link doesn't have any issues (for me).

Given the way they generally seem to be named, it would probably be scratch-wiki.scratch.org, like the infamous scratch-projects.scratch.org and also scratch-api.scratch.org

If someone vandalizes the Wiki, I'm sure that the Scratch Team would not want it to be on an official Scratch site.

Sure, but (I think) scratch-wiki.info is still an official Scratch site.

It is endorsed by the Scratch Team by being in the footer of the Scratch website, however, it is not managed by the Scratch Team, it is managed by Scratchers, and I don't think that Scratchers should have the ability to edit any site on the official Scratch domain.

Ah, okay, thanks for clarifying.
