Too much choice is a bad thing in the user experience design world because it leads to what's known as decision paralysis. This means there's so much over-analysis of what to do that visitors find it difficult to decide what to navigate to. Once a user reaches this point, they get frustrated and leave with a bad taste in their mouth, making them unlikely to return to your wiki and instead find answers elsewhere. Unfortunately, everybody wants to pretend they're a novelist these days, rather than keeping information brief and to the point. This often goes hand-in-hand with the creation of 5 million trivial categories, half of which contain only a couple of articles.
