While a wiki post feature would handle these, it's overkill. Editing your own posts is much more restricted than a wiki would be. Wiki posts open doors to all sorts of abuse, as some of the linked thread points out. I wouldn't get rid of my eight-ounce* tack hammer just because I also own a full-size, ten-pound* sledge, use a pound* of dynamite to get rid of a weed, or drive a 60-passenger bus to the store unless I had absolutely no alternative. This is analogous. Wiki posts, sledgehammers, dynamite and buses all have their uses, but they should be used only when more limited tools won't do the job.
