I do not support any wiki idea, unless the inventor of any given game has
the control over that game's page.  And even then, I'm not wild about
the idea.

Here's an alternate idea, although it would require some additional PHP
code for running the site... Basically, the idea would be that any member,
not just an editor, would be able to upload pages (to a special directory)
and enter them into the database, but they would not be visible to the
community at large until an editor views the submission to ensure proper
formatting, good taste, etc.  If the editor approves the submission, he
uses the PHP system to 'activate' the page, which moves it to a
permanent directory of the editor's designation and makes it visible to
the world.  If there are problems, the editor rejects it with a note about
why.  Then the user may fix the problems and re-submit.  Yes, this requires
more of users who wish to submit in this fashion, but such people could
also enjoy quicker response times (assuming they get it right, of course,
but the same inventors tend to produce multiple games; the prolific
inventors will get good at it.)
