 * What I love about wikis seems to be what they don't want us to use it for -.-; 

I'm also editing at a totally different wiki environment, where they don't allow large templating and parser extensions, as they're trying to squeeze every electron of performance out of a limited capacity server.

So I know exactly what is going wrong then:
 * contributors copy other pages, sometimes years old which still have "previous conventions" attributes
 * admins spend their time changing labels "Agency" -> "Talent agency"
 * admins spend their time moving fields between sections
 * consistency is the job of the contributor, who's prone to making typos
 * admins/contributors spend their time correcting typos and making new ones
 * there's no multi-level categorization cause it would be impossible to maintain

All this is made tons easier and consistent and less prone to errors with proper templates/infoboxes and auto-categorization.
