It turns out that if you're the encyclopedia that everyone actually
reads, the mountain will come to you: people will go to some effort to
get their field properly documented.

This is, of course, no reason to be complacent. But it does give us
something to reach out with - "look at these other fields that have
benefited!", similar to the approach we take with GLAMs.
