That's a wiki equivalent of malglico.  It's using a wiki like a bulletin board 
or forum, rather than using it natively like a wiki.  When editing a wiki you 
should create web pages that are suitable to be read as documents, which 
generally does not include contradictions and conversations unless 
appropriately framed.

I agree, however, that most people do use a wiki as if it's a forum, and your 
points are well taken.

Certainly one benefits from a clean, clear, "open" front page. I would claim 
that a properly managed wiki can achieve that, although I just as quickly 
admit that it rarely does.
