The forum is for discussions. The wiki is for storing information.

You are right.   Can we do a both?

As egamma said, the links on wiki need gathered and updated.  It is a huge thankless task.  Let's use the forum for discussion and wiki for information.

As part of our discussions, rulers shall elect official mentors. From this group, form a Mentor Commission to collaborate/write mentor lessons based on the set topics.  The commission would be temporary organization and would use a private forum section for discussions and collaboration. The result would posted on wiki. 

This proposal allows strong players to update/write mentor lessons, rewards these players by being on a commission, encourages more forum use, keeps wiki as information, and provides all new players with updated quality information. 

Mentors would refer students to wiki for general information, the forum for discussions, and support players with realm/individual help.   Game knowledge would come from a balanced combination of fellow players (mentors), wiki, and the forum.

In turn, the new wiki page would cite the contributing mentors and encourage new players to become a student to learn more.  When updates are needed a new team of mentors from the 'official realm' list can be called upon to work in the forum.
