Doing all that would require *MONTHS* of work - literally, that's not an exaggeration. That's time focused on supporting a small number of users and that's not spent adding new features or working on data files that will support thousands of users. So it's a no-win situation for us, and we've opted to tackle questions on the forums about those areas when data file creators encounter issues that aren't covered in the wiki. Is that a "good" solution? Definitely not. But it's the best we've managed that juggles the two competing demands for our time.
Then why don't you hand pick a small group of active and dedicated end users who you can trust to have access to edit in your stead? I have seen ShadowChemosh answer tons of questions and he seems extremely knowledgeable and that's just a singular example, I am sure there are others. I am not talking about 60 people, but perhaps 5-10 people.

Hell, even if for some odd reason you CANNOT do that, could you have those people prepare content for one of your employees to spend the 5 minutes to edit specific pages? I know someone reported some incorrect instructions a few months ago, a simple sentence which should take 3 minutes to update(I don't remember the exact details off the top of my head).

Copy/paste + formatting something others create (for the missing sections) would take what? 15 minutes per page and they don't all have to be done at the same time. While adding a paragraph submitted by knowledgeable forum users whom you trust would take what, 45 seconds?
