 This wiki is implemented with [[https://Dokuwiki.org|DokuWiki]]. Fundamental concepts for [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki|DokuWiki]] include: [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/page|page]] and [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/namespaces|Namespace]]. Please note the icon and color of "DokuWiki, page and Namespace" in the previous sentence. The icon indicates a link/reference to content that is not part of this wiki. If you find a broken link, please leave a comment in the Discussion section of this page. Whoops… The discussion section of this page had to be removed. Why? Bad actors. Some people or BOTS, like to advertise and/or deposit inappropriate material on a web page that is "open". However, all the other pages of this wiki have the "Discussion" feature enabled along with the "captcha" feature. The BOT wars will probably continue.

-A wiki is unlikely to maintain relevance without updates and multiple contributors. This wiki was started with a focused purpose and a small number of contributors, but the intent of this wiki is to have multiple contributors. My opinion… More contributors will build a better wiki as indicted by [[http://https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page|wikipedia]]. However, the internet exposes this wiki to "bad actors", which has caused this wiki to require contributors to be registered ( have a login id and password) . If you want to contribute to the content of this wiki, add a comment to any of the other pages and somebody will respond.
