> As a former colleague liked to say, "The bar to authoring documentation needs to be so low you can trip over it."
Wikis have an incredibly low bar, and at some point making things easy leads directly to garbage-in-garbage-out disorganization.
Having docs go through the same linting and code review process (which should also be easy!) as code is the way forward for docs longer than a few pages.
Sphinx is excellent and batteries included for this sort of lint process.
