Every single wiki I have ever seen has been extremely useful - the
subjects seem to always end up on the same page, instead of having 10
pages about the same thing, but very slightly different.

Also, if someone does spam/corrupt/mess with any pages in the wiki, it
is extremely easy for the first user to see it to roll-back to an
earlier copy of the page.
