So far I haven't encountered any issues in regards to people abusing the information I've laid out over on my character's wiki page. I do choose to keep some stuff deliberately vague, admittedly, but that's more to do with being my personal preference since I don't want to ruin potential surprises in advance.
Yeah, I haven't had much issue with anyone using any of the substantial information I have in Chachan's page. Plus, I like to think that having the information available might also help as possible hooks? I dunno. I think it'd be neat for someone to see something and go "Oh hey, I think we could do something fun with that" and then present the idea (preferably OOCly through PMs or a /tell and not just springing it on you, of course).
Also, there's spoiler tags you can use in the wiki for stuff you might want to have there but not immediately out in the open. I've been flip-flopping using them for characters with more sensitive backgrounds... but still want the information there for the aforementioned playing-off of.
