Another hopefully extensible suggestion: larger libraries with a
cohesive purpose should get a standard boilerplate message saying
something like "Cyclone is a library for creating Max compatible
patches. The closest pd-native equivalent of this object is
[until]." or "GEM is a library for 3D graphics. For an overview
of GEM, see <here>". The Cyclone example is sort of an extension
of the "deprecated by" suggestion: in general, it would be nice
to direct users to the "right object".

Hey, this is really cool! Great work! I am committed to
contributing as much as I can.
It would be great to take a really well known object and do a
"reference article" to somewhat establish quality standards for
the articles, and give lazy editors a template to work from when
cleaning up the dumped text.
A "see also"/"related" section would be great, like [append]: see
also: [list]. (maybe the categories take care of this)
Also, a standard for writing "deprecated by" would be really
helpful for old objects.
big cheers
