Sort of: I don't want to take on any responsibility, but you can trust me
to make unsolicited recommendations to everyone ;)

mediawiki has a 'lock' feature to allow certain pages to only be edited by
certain users. We should use it for such 'serious' pages.

Generally I think all mediawiki instances should be retired and replaced
with a static site generator backed by a distributed version control "pull
request" model of collaboration.

http://designwithfontforge.com has semi-prominent "edit this page" (that
could be even more prominent) and Github itself and 3rd party web editors
like http://prose.io provide the "wiki" experience of editing pages
directly, but with the PR permissions model that - IMHO - cultivates more
quality.
