Not only are we reinventing the wheel here we are doing so as a community relatively poorly equipped to do so.
The guys at the Immortality Institute forums are reasonably like minded to lesswrong participants but many of them are obsessed with the kind of subject we discuss here and have done excessive amounts of investigation into both studies and typical experiences of self-experimenters.
We would in most cases be best off just reading through the best of the threads there and following their findings.
Which are the best threads? Fora do not seem optimal for synthesizing an answer. My impression is that they know a lot more than wikipedia. Why haven't they filled it out? Would they be interested in ata's wiki?
At the top of the Nootropics forum is a sticky which indexes the best threads by subject. It looks like exactly what you're looking for.
This one in particular looks like a great getting-started guide.
It would certainly be useful if the information was collected in wiki format. As you say, forums are far from optimal for collecting a concise synthesis of information! It would be a service to the universe if ata's wiki was filled out comprehensively.
