Take a quick look at Kushiel Mux's site again. They pretty much have one pretty page, and then everything else is in the Wiki. The point of a "pretty page" to begin with is that it's usually a standard to "grab" a gamer's eye. You can re-direct them to the Wiki right away if you chose to do so. It might still be something to think about.

Honestly, though, if you're the head admin of your game, I suggest creating a Wiki where you have full control over the functionality, layout, and set up of the Wiki. If you're serious about setting up the Wiki as your primary resource, I don't think you should leave control of the box to someone else. I'll send you a URL for a free wiki site that works a bit more like Media Wiki. That way if you move, you can just export your files and upload them straight to Media Wiki.
