One of the great fun things about this place is that there is so much to explore and discover. Having a big official catalog of all the dank, dark corners of the Monastery would kill the thrill, I think.

So here's my tip: Many adventurous Friars before you (such as yrs trly) have recorded their findings on their homenodes or scratchpads — or, indeed, in PMD responses 10 layers deep. That would be a good place to start.

Indeed this is a good suggestion... in fact I occasionally do browse home nodes... and often find gems there... but well, I have the impression that killing the thrill or not at least some corners of the Monastery would be more useful or funny (and something funny is useful, if you ask me) by being... err... less dark, and that the gain in this sense would overweight the loss in thrill and mystery. But then, probably it's just me...
