A wiki is only as good as the big picture and structure of the people feeding it. Maybe you could use the logs of a chat to feed into a wiki. Just having everyone edit away with that ever is on their plate today, sure sounds like a wiki I don't want to use.

Yes, a wiki is very much imperfect.

It's still much better than a public Slack channel, which faces the same limits plus additional ones as it cannot represent the knowledge of big picture structure held by the people feeding it.

A private Q&A facility might be a useful middle ground. Then use the most frequently referenced topics in the Q&A as a guide to structuring a wiki.
