Well put, yes, we're using the wiki for a purpose that could be better
served by a knowledgebase.[1]

That would be a mighty interesting project - migrate all
using-Fedora-the-distro content off the wiki and in to a kbase.

What I meant by reworking the front page of the wiki is more than a
splash page, just a bit less than right now:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Quaid/Two_prong_wiki_main_page

I see the wisdom of what has been done on the front page with the wiki
in the state that it currently is.

[1] Kbase or whatever it is: important that it's easy to create
    articles, easy to categorize, easy to cross-link to other relevant
    articles, etc.

    The Docs Project toolchain is not so easy to use.  Although the
    guides are gaining in breadth and depth, there are always going to
    be matters of time, brevity, and scale that need to be served by a
    $small_article_machine.  The latter could be a wiki, another type
    of CMS, a kbase, etc.  Right now, it's the wiki.
