A real /wiki/ has a user database where users can

I'm not going to hash this whole war again. It comes up about once a year
when someone unfortunately steps in it.
Every time it was discussed, the list membership at large generally felt
that a wiki was not a good forum for the type of discussion that occurs on
the mailing list. You are trying to fault the knowledge base because it is
not a wiki. It was never intended to be a wicki. You are comparing apples
and oranges. A knowledgebase and a wiki are to entirely different things.
The knowledgebase was not intended to be a wiki or act like a wiki or fill
the role of a wiki. And a wiki was decided against.
