The Less Wrong Wiki is a valuable resource. Since Eliezer Yudkowsky's original sequences were completed, the Less Wrong community has changed much. This thread is to be used to voice updates Less Wrong users would like to be made to the WIki, especially so it's easier to use it as a reference for introducing a new concept from Less Wrong for the first time.
If you want to start a thread for that task, a discussion post probably makes more sense than a post in the open thread that isn't as long living.
Who gets what value from the wiki?
For a time, I adopted the Special Threads page, because it looked like a valuable resource. Eventually it grew to be too much of a hassle, and after that code changes made it less useful (because now there are links to the latest open thread and rationality diary and quotes thread and so on). There have been a lot of attempts to build up various parts of the wiki as useful, but I don't think all that much of it is actively maintained, and the parts of it I use the most seem to be metaposts (sequence lists, etc.).
Several things come to mind here.
