That relieves you of the burden of ever having to deal with it again, since anyone here can update or change the wiki. In fact, if it's on the wiki, the developers and documenters of the project can make a sweep through the wiki and use it as an inspiration for unit tests, or even fold it in to official documentation.

It gains higher visibility within the community, and therefore becomes even more valuable to the community than it already is.
