That sounds like the job of an encyclopedia. Maybe some sort of collaborative encyclopedia where people can edit pages and add references.

I know you’re only half joking. In practice many, perhaps most of my DDG queries do end in !w - but there’s a wealth of information that is relevant, interesting, and useful, but wouldn’t be considered encyclopaedic, or that is merely summarised in Wikipedia; in addition, their references are included as supporting citations, very far from a comprehensive index of currently accessible information.
