[2020] The official wiki - what do you like and what don't you like about it? How can it be improved?

What's needed is two things, and two things that must be done in the client first before doing anything in the wiki itself:

1. Use the trading post's in-game browser capabilities to show the wiki in a panel in-game. With an option to use an external browser instead, of course.
2. A neat "wiki this" button in the upper bar. Press it, the mouse pointer turns into the "wiki this" pointer. Then you can click on anything, ANYTHING, and you get its corresponding wiki page in the in-game wiki viewer.

And ding, the wiki gets more attention and users to get filled.

GW2 is all about being dynamic. Dynamic events, vendors, etc., however I feel that the wiki is much less so and we (the community) probably have mostly ourselves to blame. The wiki and community are still young and I believe that both will be more well-rounded in the coming months. Currently, however, the amount of relevant content is lacking.

For example, my most recent encounter was with the vendor of Bauble Bubbles. The wiki still indicates that they can be turned into the merchant from the event in Rata Sum for various items, and although the vendor is still there, he no longer offers items in exchange for the Baubles. His own page on the wiki also makes no mention of the fact that his services are no longer available.

I'm just as guilty as anybody for not rectifying these things (such as the above), but if we want the wiki to be a good source of truth for the game, they need to move in sync. I think community awareness posts such as this one are a great start. I'm going to go sign up now and start contributing! :)
