Actual soles, yes, and it can be added, but we have a problem of two different factions of players wanting the wiki info to be simpler and less concrete and wanting it to be denser with more information. It's hard to provide for both.
And like I just said, stuff that isn't in the game bible needs to be asked formally and consensus has to be gotten on it. Not all of those details are in there because the mods didn't think of every single thing. I could give you my own headcanon for it, but it'd be useless because I'm not a mod-mod and they'd all want to agree on it first.
Part of the problem is the players naturally poke and prod at stuff and want description, but it hasn't always occurred to the mods that something needed that much detail. This would be no problem at all if we had mods that you could ask a question of and they'd quick wrangle the others to agree on the new detail and put it in the wiki somewhere, but they take waaay too long to discuss stuff.
As for the last bit, yes, we'd love to at least let them get some incomplete stuff that future plot and player actions can be built on, and now that Karl and I are done, we can provide that. I also personally want to provide more info on the boundaries and things the players can legitimately do/prod into that. Since that's major plot stuff, the others know enough to also provide that, but the burden of the work, as other people have pointed out, has been falling on the same few mods. If they're busy, you're screwed, because the others don't step up.
As for the email tag, ask the mod-mods. Even when people email ME stuff to get information and I push for them to agree on what can be released, I can't get them to freakin' comment on stuff to get consensus. I'm stuck in the unfortunate position of knowing the whole plot, being able to come up with any little details if people ask about stuff where the little details haven't been thought about yet, but I have absolutely no say in implementing new things or even establishing details as details and have to push multiple people to weigh in on it when some of them don't seem to be able to actually weigh in on it in a timely fashion, to the point I have to harangue some of them on AIM.
So I can't say a thing about the email tag. I'm stuck in between. I have absolutely no power whatsoever in deciding if it's the "official" info and I have to cat-herd if I'm ever the one suggesting something be added, because I'm not allowed to make any actual decisions on my own. I'm not even allowed to weigh in with a vote on things. I just try to push for it to get processed.
