No problem statement... Just a statement that a problem exists...

No identification of what the language is, or if you mean (Your language of
choice supports BEING a Wiki) or (Your language of choice can WRITE to a
Wiki) or (Your language of choice can READ from a wiki) or (Your language
of choice is DOCUMENTED in a wiki)? Remember, wiki is just a software... so
Do you see how each of those is a radically different question?

So... You blindly distrust all of them, regardless of the former answer...
So what am I answering again?

So... You are looking for a community, not a wiki... Although, that
community might have a wiki, in which case you can decide for yourself if
you trust it.

We cant point you at a community unless you tell us more about what you are
looking for... A question you have not even remotely approached answering.
