By providing the template with fields that have simple boolean value (like done in Template:race for infravision, see in dark, FHB, rebirth and so on) those that are intrested promoting/updating their city can simply put a x on those fields if the city has it.
For one person gathering information from all the pcitys, this would indeed be a huge task but that is not the idea of wiki's.
By providing simple tools like templates that can be copy and pasted or forms with fields, that either are filled or left empty, even the most novice wiki writer can contribute.
