This is simply your opinion as to what a wiki is used for. Look at the 
Tcl wiki, the Emacs wiki, Wikipedia, c2.com, clearly none of those are 
short notes yet they are all valid uses of a wiki. Each project may use 
the wiki differently.

I'd suggest changing the checkbox option that exists right now "Use HTML 
as the Wiki format" to a drop down, "HTML" or "Fossil Wiki" or "Creole".
