It's much easier to build a database when you have the actual database to build from, such as how RMS does it, however, we are not privy to such materials.
RMS database section is just a direct hook-up with eA database. If there's errors in eA, RMS reports it without change.
On the other hand, all other RO quest-based wiki, including RMS's own quest guide, has always been built by players who wrote down the procedure as they went on the quest themselves. Also, guides written by players often put the quest in perspective of doing the task as well (such as tips on how to do it, what's the most efficient way, etc) while GM perspective is how they 'expect' players to do it (which is often, harder than it has to be.)
Also, wiki is built by players. Some things such as monster database, hardly anyone but Namin? can even read it, so some sections need certain people to fill out. However, quest details and procedure is not something that only GMs can do (as proven by other players who contributed on many other quests.)
I should rephrase.
Having the scripts (which people who write how to guides on quest, for RMS for example, whom do have access to the eA scripts which anyone can easily get via the eA boards.) are:
Faster, More Efficient, and More Accurate.
This is due to the fact, well, you can actually see how a quest is meant to function, and how it does, in fact, function. This of course plays even more of a role to the more 'ambiguous quests' in heRO.
Also other details that normal players are not capable of writing such as items that are either not released/accessible/or just simply do not have.
Keep in mind that, while the wiki is mostly player driven, our population is still...minuscule and unmotivated... to say the least. Just passing work onto the players is unlikely to get great results quickly, although I do thank the players that have given their time and effort, contributing to the pool of knowledge that is the wiki.
On a side note, has the Wiki actually been opened up for all players to edit? Last I checked it was only open for a specific few to actual edit, though I have not checked that specific detail in a while.
