A process that could help with wiki-based documentation would be to have every single article on the wiki automatically marked as out of date on some regular schedule.
Active articles would quickly be edited and acknowledged as up to date, whereas abandoned articles would either be removed or left marked as out of date.

This sounds like a good idea, at least to start from.

I've also considered something like a bot that would give people "A Doc a Day" -- mailing people a single page that they can then either update, delete, or mark for a more involved look.
