I think this Wiki has a decent shot at success, similar to other niche resources like SEP and Wolfram Mathworld, given the clear need, and Pablo’s and engineers’ efforts. And it would be super-useful if it does so.
Two current bug/feature requests:
It’s currently very unclear where to find the Wiki content. For example, I expected to find it here and also here. Reading this discussion (by Pablo and Michael), I expected to see the Wiki page being discussed, or at least a link to it, but I couldn’t.
I think the idea that you’re presenting Wiki pages as modified versions of “tags” is very (and fundamentally) confusing user experience (even if that’s how they have to be coded). Can users not understand wiki pages as first-class entities, and say that a tag is one way that we can use a Wiki page?

If what you’re after is a list of all wiki-only tags (which I believe are “the wiki content” as it stands), then a partial list is available here. Aaron linked to that in the original post here:
You can see all of our tags on the Tags Portal, and many of our “wiki only” articles on this page (I’m still adding the last few — check back in a day or two).
(If you just meant the link to the relevant Forethought page, then Aaron’s reply to you here already covers that.)

The “all tags” page will eventually (within the next few weeks) link to all articles, including those that are currently “wiki only”.
The wiki-only version of the tag being discussed was merged with the active tag, so the wiki-only version no longer exists (see subsequent posts in the discussion).

That’s how we’ve decided to refer to those entities internally (the wiki as a collection of articles, some of which are also tags). This decision was made over the weekend, so previous discussion of the wiki is a bit of a hodgepodge — we’ll use the less confusing system in future discussions (and try to enshrine it in the UI as well).
