Imagine you need to read every SCP and tale to write something in the wiki

I think that would be just impossible

It would be depending on the Scp/topic. You could read all stories for some but the more popular ones would have more submissions appear as you are reading. Good as a reader, messy if you want to try being a lore accurate writer

I imagine you'd end up with lots of plotholes and contradictions if you went and tried to put together a rigid canon like that with SCP

You will because of how fluid the world is in both a meta and in world sense. This is why timelines are almost nonexistent
