I've just written a brief wiki on systemd. I noticed that the "init" page is actually about sysvinit; presumably when it was written, the two terms were synonymous. I think the init page should be about the basic concept of an init system, and the sysvinit-specific material should be moved to a separate page. The init page should list and link to all the available init system pages: sysvinit, systemd, runit and upstart.
I am willing to do the rearrangement and write the new init and sysvinit pages if that's OK with Jeremy. I can't write anything about upstart or runit; someone more knowledgeable will have to do those.
Distribution: Currently: OpenMandriva. Previously: openSUSE, PCLinuxOS, CentOS, among others over the years.

Why not just call your page systemd-init or something similar??

It looks like the current init page mention SysV, BSD and systemd. That said I'd agree it could be cleaned up a bit and broken down better. Thanks Hazel.
