I think the problem is a matter of incentives: articles and comments are rewarded with karma and attention, but wiki posts receive no karma and, even if people do read them, there’s no feedback.
I think that in general, and here in particular, we need places for smaller chunk sizes of posting than “create a discussion post”. A comment on this post should be good for moderate-sized wiki edits; for the general case, maybe we should bring back open threads.

Maybe we need some kind of norm where people can post about it in the discussion section when they make a significant change to the wiki?
