On the flipside though, if you don't distribute base information in a place where everyone can see it then two things happen (at least they did at wot when I was active there).

1) - the 'knowledge' gets held by few people, who, because they possess it, become special, leet. Good in moderation but it can get out of hand (it did at wot)
2) - rumours, innuendoes and complete falsehoods start getting believed. Some of the theories that people swore blindly to at wot were hilarious. Like holding such and so doll upped your backstab success. puh-leaase

It's a happy medium, I always believed that more was better but I also liked to encourage players . In order to have that you have to leave something for them to write about

It makes 'em feel special and gives them a role in the pattern of things.
