I am actually pretty familiar with these Wiki sites. I have used Wikipedia and WikiHow the most of any I'd say. The important thing to remember when using Wikis is that ANYBODY can edit these sites, unless its a more restricted site. With that in mind, the information on these sites might not be 100% accurate. I don't think it's appropriate to use a site like Wikipedia for a research project. What I have done in the past though is to go to the bottom of a Wikipedia page and check out their references. Sometimes you can find more reliable sources that way. In other applications though, its a great idea. For example, planning a event. It easily allows you to allow multiple users access to make changes to the plans.
I tried to edit the "Ultimate Dream Supply Kit" wiki but I had me apply for access, so I was not able to do it yet.
