I think the trick is to get the knowledge there first. Then help people find it.
Wikipedia is already a very useful resource.
If you know how to use it, which most people don't.
Then we teach them, we don't hide it from them.
I say do both.
There's plenty of work still to be done, certainly, but there's not reason for people not to use it while we do that work.
I don't suggest taking away the ability for people to use it.
Yes, that's exactly what you're suggesting. Removing Wikipedia from search results would take away people's ability to easily find the information we have.
It'd take away people's ability to easily find the misinformation too. And it'd make it easier to find the better information that other people have.
