Even more than on Wikipedia. The problem with Wikipedia is it tries to use a wiki to write about contentious issues like politics, culture war, religion, national conflicts etc. too and wikis just aren't a very suitable mechanism for that. OSM tries to limit itself to completely objective facts about the world, wikis are very well suited for that.
