osdev wiki talks little on x64 long mode and UEFI protocols?

I find it is easier today to develop an os with uefi and amd64 platform, with the help of a project called UEFI:SIMPlE,
since uefi has set up the long mode for you and you can enable paging by a single call to SetVirtualMemory.
Besides, using the up-to-date technologies are more inspiring and interesting.
However I have to search the UEFI spec and intel manual all the time just to find some data structures and functions.
I believe it will be helpful if there are more about x64 and UEFI in the wiki.
By the way I recommend the wiki talks about UEFI:SIMPLE.
