I've always thought that blanking the page and replacing it with a template
which says it's historical and *links* to the historical version of the
page would be a good solution that balances preserving history with
deemphasizing outdated information.

I'm all for following the norm here, but wouldn't that mean it still shows
up in searches? That's what I'm trying to avoid, minimizing the confusion.
