That is why I write only here and leave it to others to decide if the tip should be added to the wiki.

I understand.
My point would be that everyone looking for a solution may feel the same when (or if) he finds it in the forum... but that ignoring irrelevant points in a structured Wiki is easier than browsing through a large number of (often endless) threads to find a tiny bit of information.
Most annoying situation in my eyes: I stumbled across some solution I didn't encounter the problem to, yet... and when I need it, I know that the information was 'somewhere' in a couple of dozen pages of 3-4 candidate threads. (even better when I don't remember the right keywords to search for it :P )
E.g.: I didn't feel the need to convert documents, yet
Anyhow: I'd like to encourage rather posting pointless information (which will eventually be put into a substructure by somebody else) than using the forum as a primary documentation medium.
That's why most of the wiki currently consists of links to the forum - just add pointers to relevant discussions... and I'd be amongst the folks appreciating it.
Cheers.
