For example, I like Ysa. She is interesting to portray, and the crazy as hell head space she lives in is interesting. She does not, however, deserve her own wiki page. I think that the wiki will become a bit cluttered if we were to have pages dedicated to each individual NPC we as players happen to create. I have one exception to this. I think that pages dedicated to NPC organizations or groups that have been created collaboratively and have effects on a significant number of PCs across the community would be fine. (Though this can be accomplished by using the literature section of the current wiki.) The vote is taken and done. We should accept the results as they currently stand. There is nothing really to be gained, but unnecessary division by overreacting simply because the vote did not go the way we as individuals may have liked.

The poll was to see how many would use it. It wasn't a poll to determine overall people in favor or against the idea. As I said, I doubt 30% of the RPers will contribute to each individual lore section. But it is still important for that section to be there, as it might find benefit to greater than those 30% who are the ones editing it.
In general, wikis work on the basis of a minority of writers, who write for the majority's benefit. This is the case for just about any large wiki. These are the numbers that I feel should have been expected, for something that would've been used.
I don't think people are planning to make a page for every single one of their NPCs, either. So NPCs are worth only mentioning, others might have their own significant stories, etc, that would merit elaboration.
