Turns out there's a definition for what I've been suffering from over
the last year:

"Wikiphilia: A mental illness characterized by the irrational
conviction that any problem faced by a group can be rendered solvable
through installation and use of a Wiki. This delusional ailment has
been occurring in increasing numbers ever since it was first
identified in 1995. Wikiphilia usually manifests in two distinct
phases - the rapturous anticipation of the Wiki's potential in the
short post-installation phase; slowly giving way to denial of the
Wiki's failure to fulfill that potential in the second phase."
