[PLUG] To wiki or not to wiki. THAT is the question.

[Tyrell Jentink]

As we have beat around the "You clearly have no idea what a wiki is" bush,
I think we failed to answer your question...

If your chosen scripting language has a wiki, and that wiki has your
answers, then Yes, you should use it.

It's not 1998 anymore; The fears over unmoderated edits to wikis have
largely proven to be overstated, and aren't even true on Wikipedia anymore,
where the claim was most prevelent. The simple fact of the matter is that
wikis have enough eyes on them that, even if false information gets
inserted, it won't last long.

And on a wiki owned and operated by a specific project, the risk is
essentially non-existent.

Use the wiki. Your life will be more stress free.
