Reading this from the link you provided:"In my ideal world, every Wikipedia topic would have a guide that took you from the 1-minute version to a full technical understanding. Go as far as you wish, make meaningful progress at each step, and have fun along the way.".
Have you though how to build/scale it ? Because it would seem like an amazing site, and maybe a good startup.
3) Collect feedback [see comments on article], examples, diagrams, etc. Make it easy to contribute an insight.
4) Weave the final result into an honest, realistic guide from curiosity to mastery. (I don't have one built yet for the Fourier Transform.)
I'd prefer to organically grow the guide out of our shared experience vs. "imagining" what a hypothetical student needs. (The hypothetical student should study limits for weeks, then derivatives, then integrals. In my experience it's the other way around.)
For scaling, getting the first few right should hopefully make a template others can take and run with. As long as we're dealing with text, it's infinitely editable and updatable. (Why are we so enamored with video? We can't fix our inevitable mistakes!)
I'd love to chat more if you like! Just ping me at kalid.azad@gmail.com.

This is my biggest gripe with Wikipedia for mathematical topics - as it stands, it's only useful if you already know the material, in which case you probably shouldn't be using wikipedia as a reference / refresher except as a last resort.
Exactly. Wikipedia helps me remember things I've forgotten, but it's slow going when trying to learn a new topic. The first paragraph includes a set of links that you recursively follow.
