Should I edit those pesky empty tag wikis?

Question

Every day I plan to grab a couple of empty tag wikis and edit them to provide at least a reasonable popup information to users of Super User.

Where possible, I plan to write an extended full wiki section, but my efforts are going mostly to the excerpt. Not to say I plan to ignore the full wiki section, simply that I don't plan to write extensive information there unless time permits.

However, I don't yet have editing privileges. I'm comfortable with that, but it means someone else will be required to review my edits and either accept, edit, or reject them.

I'm asking if this is ok with everyone else.

Excellent! Do refer to the guidance at

1. The excerpt is the elevator pitch for the tag.
2. Avoid generically defining the concept behind a tag, unless it is highly specialized.
3. Concentrate on what a tag means to your community.
4. Provide basic guidance on when to use the tag.
5. Remember some tags are common knowledge.
