I think Bitcoin Core configuration files is OT here, this thread is for developer documentation, not user documentation.

This said, as (repeatedly) stated, no permission is required to update the wiki if it is oudated. If someone wants to do the work of duplicating the content and keeping it up to date on bitcoin.org, all this person have to do is to do all the work and convince other contributors it's a good idea, like any other change.

The developers guide already lists the command line arguments.  The conf file is a subset of those commands.  Bitcoin.org is also doing a page on running your own node (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.org/issues/410).  The page about running your own node was suggested by an insider and  approved by you and Garzik without any argument about posting user documentation.  You are going to need the conf file explanation on that page so my issue was 100% on topic as I see it.  I would suggest putting in with the command line arguments in the developer's guide and linking to it from the "Running your own node page."  maybe you can explain more why this "off-topic."

All the information is already within, or will be within, bitcoin.org and there is no purpose in trying to change the Wiki to make a second copy of the same information.  Especially if Luke Jr. is going to come in and deny/change the edits so I would not waste my time trying to do that.  Many people have stopped editing the wiki due to those types of complaints.

The "other contributors" are mostly the 2 or 3 people who go around calling anyone who disagrees with them "trolls."  There is no viable way to reach any sort of community consensus under the current system.  You have already told me the only reason you denied posting the video I had made was because of my "attitude" which is not a legitimate reason.  I am starting to see other similar questions being raised, such as which wallet programs get listed, so I am glad this is bringing everything out into the open.
