Comments

Looks good. Sorry, I couldn't resist changing the heading to "Encyclopædia"... I like the "Mapping lessons" page idea. Not sure about how you've organized the stuff Encyclopedia heading. How about you create "Mapping Lessons / UnrealED Lessons" as above (though pick one name, we're getting too many | in links), and I'll revamp the HomePage with your suggestions too – give the Wiki a big breath of fresh air – Tarquin

Sorry for the delay – work has caught up with me bigtime. Hope to do some more Wiki this weekend. In the meantime definitely feel free to implement away! BTW – I'm not at all dismayed by the debate – the less punches pulled the faster the results, in my opinion.
