Perhaps there's an opportunity here for a nonprofit organization, accepting donations like wikimedia does, to offer hosting to gaming communities?
Edit:
This would not only benefit gamers directly, but also help with cultural preservation, which is increasingly problematic as games disappear from store fronts.
Also, a wiki run by a funded organization is less likely to vanish than one operated by a single person, whose circumstances might change.
