For example, one could concieve of a wiki for a subject about which we know just about as much as there is to know, like TheGeneralSortingProblem?. Then you could create a wiki with all the knowledge in it and at some point all the pages would be there and they would all be refactored for maximum readability etc.
Type of wiki I see:
Are there wiki, that aren't in these categories?
Are there wiki which are both "finished" and useful?

That sounds about right to me. I don't think they're ever finished.
Even the ones on narrow topics- there are always better ways of presenting the same information.
Also, new angles on old ideas keep appearing.
1. Do we have a "Theory Of Infinite Improvement of Re-Factorable Knowledge" on our hands here? Stated: For every wiki there is some refactor that will improve the wiki.
2. Let us make the following analogies: wiki isLikeA HiveMind, HiveMind isLikeA PersonsMind?
3. Substituting into our Theory from step#1 we have: For every PersonsMind? there is some refactor that will improve the PersonsMind?. sounds like we're getting into some kind of Zen territory or something…
