Back before I faded into obscurity, I was one of the guys that tended to write down rumors for others on their wiki, if I had any kind of RP with them that was deeper than a hello and a goodbye. I tended to enjoy leaving little presents like that on their wiki.
Every once in a while, I would add new ones to mine. If I had an idea for filling up a certain spot in my character's backstory timeline with meaty info, I would add a rumor. Or if my character went through plot development and I felt like it could spread via gossip.
I have no real way of being able to tell if anyone ever read the rumors I posted on their wiki, or how many people actually go out of their way to snoop on people's wikis and read/post rumors. I think it's a neat thing to do, though. I think it's quite pleasant to see that someone had posted a rumor about my character, and I like doing it for others too.
So yes, I would endorse and encourage people to do so. I expect myself to write rumors about others if I participate in RP with them.
