The question is, would such a wiki have the mind-sucking powers of TVTropes?

"Overcoming Bias is a serious trip, particularly if you’ve let yourself get intellectually lazy. It’s a bigger, and far more productive, time sink than Wikipedia or even TV Tropes." - http://ricketyclick.com/blog/index.php/2008/06/12/quote-of-the-day-wearing-the-clown-suit/

Mind-sucking seems to be a general property of wikis, not just TVTropes. Even the original wiki is a huge potential time sink.
