Good point. In fact, with the risk of vandalism, this could be a recipe for disaster. On Wikipedia, vandalism may lead me to believe that the president of Russia is Taylor Swift, something usually harmless. Here, someone may vandalize a recipe to add 1 cup of arsenic. Okay, more seriously, I wonder if there are subtle ways to mix normal ingredients into poison. I suppose this is already a risk on WikiHow, where someone could tell you to clean your house by mixing bleach and ammonia.
What about a web of trust for some wikis? Instead of letting everyone edit a page, begin with the wiki's founder, who can delegate editor rights to people he knows, then they can grant the right to their friends, and so on. I have always loved the wiki format and prefer them at work over more draconian tools with complicated workflows. So I am surprised to hear myself saying this. But recently at work I have also been dealing with server certificates. So a web of trust is on my mind.
