Don't blame the tool for the lack of its use. It can't really "self-create"-- you know a human being has to take the time to do the work. For some reason we just can't make the shift form posting dozens of times in the forum to posting once in the wiki... and that's what bears analyzing.
Again, I'm not trying to propose a long-term solution here. I'm not trying to say that the wiki isn't a valuable long-term asset. I just want the effort that's already focused on the forums to be more valuable.

One other thing that may help a little: place the wiki icon to the left of the forum icon on the main page. A small thing, but psychologically significant.

I thought that a 'for the wiki' button on forum posts to tag useful how-to's for future wiki-inclusion was a good idea. Then a team of wiki writers could incorporate it into the wiki. There were no comments on this idea when I originally proposed it a few days ago, but I'll throw it out there again.
