Not as a separate page but as part of the Kernel Source Wiki article: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source#head-a8dae925eec15786df9f6f8c918eff16bf67be0d Yes, it is probably a good idea to provide its own wiki page because rebuilding from srpm is frequently asked in other places as well (like IRC and forums).
