I've done this several times and I find it really fun and interesting. Whenever I read about someone who has been a member of the Immortal Flames, or who grew up in Ul'dah, I start thinking of possibilities for sharing elements of our backstories.
That's really the best use of the wikis in my opinion, to give your character context for the purpose of developing RP plot ideas. I wouldn't use it as a way of divulging "deep dark secrets" because I think part of the fun of RP is the discovery of these things through interaction. We're all taking part in a cooperative storytelling exercise, after all, so we have a responsibility to one another not to spoil the stories that we're telling.
