I am excited and interested in us using this to build our users guide and helping new people to the project. MarkDilley

How do I pick a name for the wiki when the "home" link has one name and the welcome message has another?
- Personally I think we should link to the home link, but it may be a judgement call, SpookyWiki seemed pretty straight forward to me. That text could change anytime, but the FrontPage is always the same, unless there is a code change. MarkDilley
  - I agree TedErnst
what do we do when we discover duplicates?
- I recommended adding DeletedPage - like what happens in meatball. MarkDilley
  - perhaps just leaving a redirect? If there's any chance someone will be searching by the alternative name, might as well let them find it? Also reduces the chances for someone adding that wiki again as another duplicate. TedErnst
