You can always nuke a page along with history.

However, an alternative to relicensing is to combine it with a move to a
different Wiki, which many people have wanted in the past anyway. For instance,
we could set up a GitHub wiki, and people could copy their own contributions to
the new wiki. The new wiki should of course have a license from the start.
