Are FamilySearch "Historical Record Collection" sources really subject to open addition/edit?

See also subsequent blog entry, "A closer look at FamilySearch 'Historical Record Collection' source."
---------------------------------------------------------------
Today I noticed FamilySearch has invited all of us to add source citations to it's Historical Records Collections.  See, "New Hampshire State Wide Deaths (FamilySearch Historical Records)."
Have I misinterpreted this open invitation? Perhaps someone from FamilySearch will correct my understanding.

Seems "we" are able to write/edit the instructions/procedures "we" should follow to create that same source data, too, since the instructions are in another wiki. See "FamilySearch Wiki:Guidelines for FamilySearch Historical Collections pages."
Oooo. I hope "we" misunderstood this. Hate to see the FamilySearch Historical Records Collections' source information take on characteristics of the old IGI.  --GJ
