One of the ideas is that prescribing structure (ie: freedom from choice) would lead to improved readability and usability of the wiki (this is already done with the Package Links box and the Package Header). As you’re probably aware, structure helps as it allows visitors to form habits (ie: quickly assess state of something as it’s easy to compare to others).
An added benefit of prescribing structure is that it makes analysis easier/possible. And with analysis comes the possibility for gamification, which is something that appears to work well for/in other projects/contexts.
Auto-generation would certainly help, but as I wrote above, enforcing some minimal content might be equally as effective.
