LW's own wiki is awesome

Can we quantify that? What has it achieved?

The LW wiki has made it approximately one order of magnitude easier to find the best content from LW.

You could try to quantify that by:

the time it takes to find a specific thing you're looking for
the probability of giving up before finding it
the probability that you wouldn't even have bothered looking if the information wasn't organized in a wiki.
maybe more

Yeah, but in terms of actually having achieved more downstream subgoals, like getting more people familiar with rationality?
