You're very close; Wikipedia says the preferred term is collective wisdom:
This rather cuts across a classification I like:
knowledge: knowing what (ie basic factual knowledge)
understanding: understanding why (things inter-relate, work, happen)
wisdom: understanding how (to alter things for the better, and putting these changes into effect).
