I agree, and feel that killing the wiki would be a mistake. The existing wiki could really use some clean up and better structure, but its existence was a crucial factor in helping me get started with Nix and I imagine the same is true for many other users.
http://wiki.archlinux.org is an excellent example of what we might strive to achieve: collections of unofficial documentation with conventions around structure and format, with links from wiki pages to canonical documentation resources wherever it is available. It is, and should always be an approachable starting point for contributing something to the user community. An active wiki is a strong positive signal about any open source project, imo!
