If it replaces something better, then surely it will be rolled back by
someone else who notices the bad change.
Have you used wikipedia much?
The quantity and quality of information there is astounding, even though
anyone can edit anything.

If a wiki javascript faq were monitored by a number of knowledgeable people,
bad changes would not survive.

Unless you're volunteering to keep the FAQ more relevant and up-to-date, I
don't see anyone volunteering to be the single point of contact for what has
become a huge document.
