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. 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.
Me, I treat the wikis as exactly that: a "factual" article giving biographical story details on the character in question. Most of the stuff in my characters' backstories aren't things that are common knowledge, but I put them there anyway for completion's sake, and so if anybody questions how/why they can perform X ability, I point to the appropriate wiki section.
