Documentation should be like a book, not a wiki in the traditional 
sense.  That's why there's http://en.wikibooks.org/ for example.

Yes: when used _improperly_, wikis are absolutely terrible for 
documentation.

That's why I set up my wiki correctly wiki when requesting feedback on 
my documentation changes.
