i see what you mean. althought this seems like it might be moving away from topic but my shop deals with way to many types of hardware and OSs. HP, AIX, Linux (suse, rhel), windows 2k,2k3, solaris 10, ios, force 10 (whatever os that is), avocent style linux, blah blah blah... point is we solved many problems have having a "wiki" of each OS and the basics for trouble shooting a common issue as well as the basic commands that might lead you to getting to the root of the cause. i've solved several AIX issues and honestly won't know what to do if you put me infront of an AIX box w/o that wiki page.
id say your best bet at this point is to just write the procedure.
