== editmode ==
A wiki's editmode is a concept that WikiIndex seems to have made up, rather than something that is common knowledge. You need to add clear instructions on every page that mentions this (i.e. this page and the page with the wiki template.)
Specifically, people need to know what options they have and how to pick one. In fact, I think there should be more of a walk through tutorial, where a couple of real wikis are used to show people how to find out all the stats.
A run through would make it much easier for people to join in with WikiIndex, but even if that is not done instructions on what editmode are essential.
Maybe a link to [[Category:Wiki_Edit_Mode]] could be enough, but I would prefer to see a basic explanation of each stat and its variables, with a link to read more. [[User:David Shepheard|David Shepheard]] 05:43, 17 May 2009 (EDT)
