I find this so infuriating that when I read someones Wiki biography that include film and television but a lot of time no theatre in their entry, like it is a dirty secret they appeared on stage and are ashamed of treading the boards.
This is not alright and come on all you actors, it’s great you appeared on stage and it’s totally fine to include it on your profile and be proud about it.

One of Wikipedia's guidelines, if not rules, is that it's generally frowned upon to edit your own page. If an actor's page doesn't list their theatre work, it's got absolutely NOTHING to do with how said actor feels about theatre, and everything to do with how far down the people putting the page together were willing to dig. TV and film are easy, get it off the IMDb, but there isn't one easy public central place like that for theatre credits, and not all actors' agent websites will list a full CV and even if they do, it's fairly common for info like dates or character names to be missing. (I know there's Spotlight, but you either need a direct link to an actor's page or a membership yourself, people putting together a Wikipedia page can't simply google it.)

I didn’t realise it was taboo to edit your own Wiki entry.
So wonder who makes Personal Wiki page, if not the artiste or their agent, does someone sit at home and invest their time in writing pages?
I have no issue if someone puts accurate information on their page.
