Not the guide
- This is simply to begin organizing everything I have into cohesive categories and introductions on how to use & edit the site.
- To be blunt, this wiki has features far beyond what any typical Wikifarm may offer. It mixes multiple offerings of extensions & abides by Wikipedia's working template standards.
- This combined with the forest of modules & import-enabled features... it makes for an extremely capable platform that is limited almost exclusively by user (my own) effort.

Misc Thoughts
- Importation is not only feasible but easy. However, their Fandom styling templates are written in a particular manner that is overly verbose on the syntax. The Wikimedia format is easier to read and work with in my opinion.
- Bots (which I exclusively run through my account at the moment) should have their own separate account.
- As much as I like my autobuddies their activities currently only take place while I'm actively logged in. There's some background automation and upkeep that can be done without adding any unwanted runaway revising.
- At least a handful of modules - primarily those dealing with Graphs & Maps are subject to removal. They're unstable or non-functional as added or as maintained externally. Which isn't a problem, honestly. Extensions tend to be the more stable approach to enabling these out-of-the-box features. This combined with some use of Widgets (and Gadgets, less so) means some modules are scheduled for full removal. Really just sensing what is and is not working in the open source space.
- There's some work to be done on mapping template links, shortcuts, redirects, soft redirects and how that connects to searches. Meaning the first big topics to go over might be:
- Outline of the aforementioned, i.e. navigation links
- Outline of page layouts, i.e. how to design a page
- Outline of styling options, i.e. the many ways to format a page
