  Ken: New Page

  We have a slight case of unintended consequences here. I created the pages on Target Retirement Funds, Total Stock Market Index, and Total Bond Market Index partly to provide models for the many similar articles the hordes of wiki newbies could write.

  Ken -  If you want the writers to use these as templates, tag the existing pages as templates, so when someone starts a new page, they can select one of the existing pages as a template.  You probably know this already, but others may refer to FAQ for wiki contributors to create templates

  Creating Folders in pbwiki

  Barry - I am not sure if you changed anything, but I can't see any "Recent Activity" [bottom right] and clicking on AllPages now says "There are no pages visible to you on this wiki."

  Latest Iteration of Proposal to the Board

  Should there be a copyright/copyleft link somewhere in the wiki?

  Adding Footnotes to pages

  Ken - I tried the HTML trick for the heading but it doesn't like it. I'll play around with it later. For now I linked the header using the tinyurl link.

  Mike - Have seen my post Historical returns of Vanguard Funds in the forum?

  templates

  If you see yourself creating pages using a similar format, you can create your own templates. For example I created a template based on the page Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund by adding "template" to the Tags. Now when you try to create a new page in wiki, it'll show the "Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund" page as a template.

  You can make any page as a template just by adding the tag "template" to that page.

  This feature will be useful for FAQs etc. Hope it helps.

  OK to link to the wiki?

  I am new to wiki. Can nisiprius list the features he used most commonly? He can look at the links I provided earlier.
  We can take that as a starting point and add extensions (Math etc) / other features.

  Ken - The concern I have with tinypic is how do we deal with missing/deleted images.

  FAQ vs Vanguard FAQ

  What is the difference between FAQ and Vanguard FAQ? Is the idea to have only links pointing to different FAQs (VG FAQ, Retirement FAQ etc)?
  I know there are lots of topics that need to be covered. Are we following any plan? Is there a priority list?

  Let me know if it's just me but on most of the pages unless the content is a link (which changes the color of the text), the section heading/question and the contents/answer seem to have very similar font, thereby making it hard to differentiate. Can we use some sort of distinction, questions italicized or use a different color for questions. ToggleToc / CollapsibleToc is a pretty cool widget which will be perfect for a FAQ.
