I'll have to agree on that point. Â I think what history a player shows on a wiki needs to be expected to be picked up on by readers, which means I try to frame it in a general manner of whatever wake of reputation might follow the char who's featured on the wiki. Â Specifics, deep details, and major life events don't tend to show up in those places, much less private things Hammer's unlikely to ever open his mouth about.
As for taking notice: Go for it. Â As noted: What's public on that wiki is stuff I'm alright with people taking IC.
I guess that also opens up the question: How much of a history are you people alright with being Public Knowledge and how do you get that done. PMs? Rumors? Linking a wiki and saying READ PUNY MORTAL AND DESPAIR? Old chars aren't just pulled from the aether and most people end up building an expected baggage train of events that get carried into the public eye in one way or another. How do you get that out there, yourself?
