The knowledge about science issues generally tracks our current understanding very well. And historical knowledge that is wrong will be extremely difficult for people to check post an apocalyptic event, and even then is largely correct. In fact, if Wikipedia's science content really were bad enough to matter it would be an awful thing to bring into this situation since having correct knowledge or not could alter whether or not humanity survives at all.
