I advocated in the chat (to widespread but not universal agreement) that the Wiki should define concepts, preferably briefly, and that except in special cases there should be no original content on the Wiki—rather, any original content should be a blog post, which the Wiki can then summarize and link to.
In the long run we want articles that ubiquitously link to the Wiki to define concepts, and Wiki pages that define concepts briefly and then link to a list of discussant articles. Or so I propose. Done right, this could make as addictive reading as TV Tropes, maybe more so.
An exception could be made for pages that strongly require collaborate editing and cannot get done by posting many individual comments—for example, Rob Zahra’s one-sentence summaries of OB posts seems like it would be a good candidate for wikifying.
