This was attempted at the start of the Codex project. It was determined by
some that such policies are counter to the open source ideology. Chaos
ensued and we have today, a set of documentation that is a quagmire.

And if I recall correctly those that freaked out about this are no
longer around. In - yell - out. That's how I remember it.
Scott (skippy)? Or is it David (smallmouse)? Either way, I
find the Codex rather useful, though I only ever view it at
the shallow levels. Wikis could use a patchmaster
equivalent---someone who is familiar with the Codex and
prevents duplication. That middleman can then become an
authority with editorial control though, which is dangerous.
Best wishes,
