Agreed, a cleanup would be nice.  :-)

I think we should delete the obsolete pages; maybe make them redirects
to the ones that have been kept up to date.

DRY up GUI wiki pages

I learned today there are "two" wiki pages for GUI clients:

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Clients

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Community_Guide_to_PostgreSQL_GUI_Tools

I'd like to DRY them up so there aren't two lists which confuses
newcomers.  Any objections?  If not I'll probably make one of those
pages into GUI's and one into "non GUI's" or something like that.
Cheers!

I attempted to remove "non maintained" projects and DRY'ed up the
pages.  Anyway the wiki refactor is done now, thanks for your help.

I created the first one because the second one was full of old, stale, useless things. I believe that everything valid on the second one was added to the first one at the time.

Also look at https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Design_Tools and https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Documentation_Tools if you're looking to combine / divide things.

Cheers,
