Just because someone *can* edit it doesn't mean they have the relevant subject matter knowledge necessary to do a proper job of it. Just because someone can competently follow instructions enough to tell that they are wrong doesn't mean that they know what is right. They may just be stuck. 

Unfortunately putting documentation in a wiki usually just has the effect of making nobody feel like they really own it. Then helpful, respectful folks such as yourself say to anyone who wants documentation, "LEARN THE CODE AND DOCUMENT IT YOURSELF! It's a WIKI!" 

Ignoring that of course the whole point of documentation is that it (hopefully) enables people to use software without having to read the source first...
