It is true that Wikis have issues relating to intentional and unintentional misinformation appearing. I feel that this is more than offset by the self-correcting nature of having a large audience all of whom can make changes. As long as the rogue element is a small percentage of users (as I believe it is on FT), Wikis are a significant asset. Clearly that's just my opinion, and as always YMMV.
I also believe that there is still a place for stickies, and that the Wikis provide an additional tool, not a replacement one.
