I'm not sure who "supervises" your department, but you might want to consider allowing them to "collaborate" with the work you will be doing. It is always nice to have an advocate.

This is something you definitely want some allies to make it successful. This is a great use of a wiki, but for it to be successful, you want to make sure you are not doing all the work. First, I would decide who the most approachable is and sell them the idea with a "Won't this make our lives easier" approach. Get them on your side and then try to win over others. Good luck!
