"all the wiki crap" means that the wiki looks like a wiki and I worry that people get 
confused when submitting name, modelname ... to PN and suddenly are redirected to the wiki 
interface. in the case the wiki can be customized as mentioned above or even better used 
just as uploader in the background with people not facing it's interface I'm fine with it.
