It might be useful, but it might backfire at a deeper level.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the people
who set up emacswiki do not have a connection to the GNU Project,
and do not see a problem in advising people to use nonfree software.
More generally, they present nonfree software as acceptable
and not as something we should all shun.
If that is so, directing people to emacswiki exacerbates the promotion
of that point of view. That would be a reason for us to make some
other choice. When we ask people to write material about using Emacs,
we would be more effective if we ask people to publish it via gnu.org.
