You're mistaken. The wiki at wiki.ubuntu.com is a community wiki for
teams in Ubuntu to organize their work, like project team information,
meeting logs, etc. The community help wiki at
help.ubuntu.com/community is for user-facing documentation about
Ubuntu itself. This is a very logical split.

Are you perhaps talking about the official documentation maintained at
help.ubuntu.com vs. the wiki at help.ubuntu.com/community? In this
case of this thread, the reason two pages of documentation exist is
because there is a higher bar for the official documentation that is
packaged and shipped in the repositories, and sometimes folks writing
docs have just wanted to toss their notes quickly on the community
help wiki instead of going through the contribution process for the
official docs. Writing formal documentation is quite a bit different
than contributing to a wiki, so I'm not convinced that getting rid of
one in favor of the other would improve anything, I think we'd just
lose the contributors who use the one we get rid of.

No they weren't, and I'd be curious as to where you learned this. They
are different domains because they are entirely different things.
