I play a rogue on the Alliance side of Kirin Tor. So there.

qhtowiki

I've worked up some code for a little Lua script to take a QuestHistory.lua file and insert some of its data into a quest boilerplate. In its current form, you'll need a questhistory.lua file from the QuestHistory addon, plus the quest-template.txt and qhtowiki.lua from http://noamtherogue.game-host.org/lua/ in the same directory. You'll also need a Lua executable (available for Windows or other platforms) in your path. If you're testing this on a Unix system, make sure the path /usr/bin/lua on line 1 points to the actual location of your lua binary.

An Example

$ ./qhtowiki.lua
1       A_Peon's_Burden
2       A_Peon's_Burden_(2)
3       A_Solvent_Spirit
4       Burning_Blade_Medallion
5       Cutting_Teeth
6       Dark_Storms
7       Galgar's_Cactus_Apple_Surprise
8       Glyphic_Tablet
9       Lazy_Peons
10      Minshina's_Skull
11      Practical_Prey
12      Report_to_Orgnil
13      Report_to_Sen'jin_Village
14      Sarkoth
15      Sarkoth_(2)
16      Sting_of_the_Scorpid
17      Thazz'ril's_Pick
18      Vanquish_the_Betrayers

Select a quest number to create a less-stubby article:
17
You selected 8: Glyphic_Tablet
.....

The Results

If the output of the qhtowiki script was pasted into a new Wiki page, it might look like the Quest:Glyphic Tablet page. Some items would have to be edited or deleted, of course, but it does reduce the frequency of errors in transcribing quest descriptions, objectives, NPCs , etc.
