		+
		+	Nah. I don't think I'll bother Maik.
		+
		+	The interface is less than what is optimal for all our spare times, at the moment.
		+
		+	Been looking at fandom.com a bit... Not sure if their copyleft policy clashes with any ''Oolite'' licensing, though.
		+
		+	On the other hand, (1) the ''Elite'' Wiki is here at alioth.net already (thanks to Dylan Smith); (2) migrating it... huge job, methinks; (3) not sure exactly why the grass seems greener on the other side, but it might be, as is usual, because of more plentiful manure... :/
		+
		+	I guess what I'm saying, is: should the alioth.net ''Elite'' Wiki ''ever'' become borked beyond all practicality anymore, fandom.com might be an alternative that could be considered. In the meanwhile, let's keep what we know we've got.

		+	----
		+
		+	Our past wiki-wizards were [[User:Winston\|Winston]] (who set this up as the "Elite Wiki" back in the days before Oolite - hence our all-inclusive [[Main Page]] - and who still pays for it) and [[User:Maik\|Maik]]. Both are programmers and both ''understand'' it. I merely have learned how to do a few things with it.
		+
		+	Phkb (also a programmer) uploaded the new logo into the "name-space" (if that is what it is) of the old. So every use of the old was replaced automatically by the use of the new without needing to manually tweak each and every one of them.
		+
		+
		+	'''Use of dates on history-tab pages'''
		+	I ''presume'' that (on the logo's "file:" page) clicking on the ''old'' date gives you the ''old'' logo file which you can then download and re-upload with a new name.
		+
		+
		+	'''Notice the use of brackets in linking.'''
		+
		+	'''Single brackets''' for website pages. Uses a ''space'' ( ) to rename
		+	'''Double brackets''' for wiki pages (avoids the little icon and avoids need for entire web address). Uses a ''pipe'' (\|) to rename.
		+
		+	And you can do other things with pipes (in linking to User: pages). And with colons (in linking to Category: pages).
		+
		+
		+	'''Dealing with "Category" pages can be complex.'''
		+
		+	The [[:Category:Lore]] page has sub-categories. And a linked [[Lore]] wiki page which appears at the top of the page list, not in the alphabetical ordering. ''If you examine the "Category" tags on each of those linked pages you should be able to work out how all this was done.''
		+
		+	Note that the addition of the colon to Category:Lore (-> :Category:Lore) immediately above. That prevents this talk page also being tagged with the Lore category and merely links to that page instead.
		+
		+	You might find it helpful to browse the [[Special:Categories\|list of categories]] and try and make sense of them.
		+
		+	[[User:Debresser\|Debresser]] seems to have spent quite some time pruning the categories to make more sense. I've not done so as I don't yet feel that I have the knowledge to do a decent job.
		+
		+	The point of these pages seems to be "easy" indexing - where you include a page in an index by merely tagging it, rather than having to manually update an index each time the page changes (as would need to be done with my various manually collated lists of relevant OXPs dotted around this wiki).
