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.
I think this is the best way to use a Wiki. I have a few hints about where Asmodean story is going to have but for the most part it's just a bit of background for other to look at and see if they like. I just hate looking back at mid cause I always find something I forgot to edit last time I was editing, leading to my annoyance. >.< Always miss something. Also a good way to kept track of Asmodean thought on people he has encountered and what he may have heard and in fact knows about them.
