This is the prototypically terrible idea that "information architects" love. There is an underlying streak of distrust of any information not curated by a professional, and it's fundamentally antithetical to Wiki values. The BigCo I work at tends to decide, every couple of years, to change Wiki platforms and more or less delete the previous Wiki. The new Wiki starts with some beautifully polished pages anointed by the high priests of information. Some other useful pages make it over (usually losing considerable historical context). Some other pages get lost, because the people most qualified to maintain them have moved on. Other pages get lost because the people most qualified to maintain them get tired of getting jerked around.
