Okay, so if you've been looking at the "Recent Changes" on the wiki, you might have noticed my name (almost?) exclusively listed on every edit for a page or two (or more). Let's just say I've been very busy. ^_-

That being said, I wanted to bring attention to a feature that might be unknown to many, and doesn't seem to be utilized much (thought it probably hasn't much needed to be, either), and then discuss a new project, as it were, for the wiki.

First, For those that don't know, there's a discuss button at the bottom of every page in the wiki, which leads to a 'hidden' section of the forums with a thread dedicated to each page. Said thread is automatically created the first time someone clicks on the 'discuss' button at the bottom of the page. This allows for relevant discussion at the page-level easily accessible from the page itself. Also, if there are posts in the page-specific thread, I don't know how much interest there is in utilizing this feature, but I want to make sure people were aware of it.

Second, there is an "include" feature, that allows one page to be included in another when rendered, parameters can even be passed to the included page for substitution. Using this feature, certain boilerplate code can easily be inserted into pages without having to re-type it every time. I've started working on a set of includes (as I'm calling them) to provide such boilerplate wiki code. If you're interested in creating more of these, or want to check out what's already been created so far, you can look here.

Teach you which one? n.n

For the per-page discussions, I don't really have anything more to add to what I put in my first post about how those work, except to note that when you click the discuss button at the bottom of a page, it takes you directly to the thread for that page. n.n
For the includes, I would suggest reading up on how Wikidot includes work here, and then reading up on the includes already created here. ^_^
You can also see includes at work on the page Yamato.
