The way I see it, the wiki should be an encyclopedia about the games of the Age of Empires series. Thanks to the Steam Workshop implementation, published scenarios and mods "become part of the respective game" for everybody to access easily, so I think they can be given a shot at the spotlight. "Fanfiction" (for a lack of a better word) however will most likely not become part of the game. I'm not trying to discredit or obstruct any creativity but the way I view it the personal space and blogs are perfect for exactly that: expressing yourself and your ideas. Also there's the following: Pages on a wiki should be editable by anyone who wants to contribute to the article. If I play for example a fanmade scenario somebody else made I can provide strategy I used to win or if i use a mod that changes appearences of buildings i can add screenshots. On the other hand if somebody invents a new civilization like here I can't say "Hey wait their unique unit isn't the Cable-backed Bowman, but the Shelby Cobra", the article would only be edited by the original creator, which is not the point of a wiki in my opinion. So again I think civilization/unit ideas and so on are predestinated for user space/blogs.
