The reasons will get better over time.
1. More creativity.
You can do alot with any of the pages, as long as you know how.
2. More flexibility.
3. It makes a game out of information.
This is brilliant, it encourages you to be more savvy about a game then other people, so ultimately the wiki becomes more developed as the competition drives it towards a good future.
There is also achievements and levels.
