Suggestion to improve AppDB: make it a free text wiki, with necessary structure being imposed by those writing it, and complete history preserved.

This is why I want a wiki like change log for restoring stuff and checking the history.
A wiki is likely to be highly unsuccessful for AppDB when the focus is on test data.
Regarding the changelog/history, it'd even be possible to use git to manage AppDB entries. It's perfectly possible to implement a complete history without moving to a wiki, but in my opinion only admins should have access to the history.
Note that history is only useful when entries get edited or deleted. Most of the time, entries are edited or rejected by admins and moderators before they are comitted to the AppDB in the first place. What we're talking about here, one way or another, is housekeeping.
