Ah I have found it - it has not been removed - someone has instead created  
a "Sinclair QDOS" entry - it is not easy to find though, as QDOS only  
takes you to the PC o/s page - the link is at the very top of this page.

I think all in all, one QL wiki resource is what is needed - I tried  
looking for a few things, and yes, its fine that "Pawn" takes you to a  
page about Magnetic Scrolls, but with "Prawn" taking you to a page about  
the shellfish, how do you tie that into the Sinclair QL adventure of the  
same name?

Wikipedia is very good, but it is the problem that it is a very general  
encyclopedia, it is sometimes hard to find the page relating to a topic  
which has the same name as another better known topic.
