You don't understand. Sure it is easy to just say "just go find it" but I think its just easier to provide a quick answer to each question and then if someone still asks the question, you can just point to "look at the Wiki" instead of "its buried in this humongous 200+ page thread". Just like any sort of MS, people want to do a lot of research before doing so, so your suggestion of just "figure it out for yourself by doing" approach does not work. I certainly wouldn't want any new AP user for MS to just do stuff that can ruin the game. For example a common question that gets asked is "what triggers Amazon to shut down your account?" There is no easy answer to this but in the wiki it could list "using same IP address to make the transaction, doing A>B and B>A, same bank accounts and CCs have all shown to increase chances of shutdown". Something like that would be sufficient.

The reality is that people are not going to read 200+ pages of the thread and really a wiki is suppose to essentially be a FAQ. If you look at any Slickdeals thread, the wiki section is a FAQ. If you look at the Bluebird thread in the wiki section. Now that is useful information. A wiki that just outlines what questions has been asked and then tell people to search for it in the 200+ pages is not useful at all.
