I'm starting to feel like a party pooper here, but hey.
There is a snippets section in TWL were you can post "short" articles.
Don't get me wrong, I think Wiki's are generally a good thing, I just remember the 1999 - 2000 days where there were like 10 *half* decent HL resource sites, finding information was a pain. Now adays I feel there are 2 that jump out and a few more that you can turn to if you still can't find your info.
With the release of HL2, people are going to be wanting to take the lime light and start their own resource centre which in the end isn't advantageous to the community.
If VERC or TWL were to host a wiki I think it would be a go, I'm just hesitant about supporting something that creates another half-arsed resource without anyone committed to maintaining it.

Blah, can't believe I'm bottom-posting. Whoever told me that this was good must die.
Anyway, they (being the large resource sites) haven't seen any really successful Half-Life style wiki's yet, so they probably won't be too interested to start with, as there's a fair bit of maintenance work involved whenever someone starts some malicious attacks.
On that note, that's why I'd be recommending starting out somewhere, showing it to VERC and saying "We can maintain this" then, if accepted, move the wiki to a new home under VERC. I'm fairly sure that they wouldn't refuse a successful venture, but would be hesitant with a relatively 'new' thing for Half-Life.
That's my two cents anyway =)
