To an extent Ady, it does help and not all at once.  Unfortunately, as
you point out, you have to know what to look for before you look.

It's been my impression since the beginning of  wiki's that the unstructured
nature of a wiki tends to leads to that unless someone imposes a structure
in the form tables of contents or something else that leads one through the
structure of what can be.

Otherwise, we're left with monkey-see-monkey-do and lose the available
richness of all that can be, vs only what we see. (mine own little rant)
