On the one hand lots of the in principle useful information in the wiki is not really easily extractable and on the other hand it is prone to manipulation in more than one way (current fad is to add big warnings about tagging errors what are not).
IMHO addressing the first issue would likely be more helpful and perhaps allow the generation of at least rudimentary presets directly from the wiki (potentially with support from taginfo).
