How long does it take to log into the wiki and write one or two sentences ?

I'm not saying my proposal is the "magic wand". A number of small things
will slowly shrink the problem.
* Richard's idea of an abstraction layer in the editor (that the user can
hopefully bypass...).
* Various users cleaning up the wiki. Some pages look so much better than a
year or two ago.
* And when all of the above failed : Bots.

But dealing with it upstream is so much better than dealing with it down
stream.
