As I argue here I think we should allow infinite wiki articles and they should be able to gain karma. I think wikis are useful not just for summary but for breaking discussions.
Another reason for new wiki articles to be able to be created whenever is that for the current articles they are (as far as I’ve seen) introduction paragraphs, where the “meat” of the article is in the linked forum posts. This is not good. Instead I want people to summarise those forum posts to give one canonical article. I don’t think that can happen until poeple can create wiki pages on whatever they want.
