-Get footnotes working in new-style markup?  
+A diff preview option à la ~MediaWiki: it’s a preview, but rather than showing the rendered wiki text, it shows a diff from the most recent saved version. It’s very handy to be able to see what you changed, particularly when you’ve tweaked multiple details or made successive edits and are no longer sure of the exact impact of your changes.

 You can't put a : in a line that starts with a ;. And in new markup, you can't put another: in the second line. Reini's links were all eaten when this page changed to new markup. -- CraigBox 
  
 Can explain what you mean? I've not had any trouble with new markup except the abominable table syntax. --AristotlePagaltzis

  Where did this text go? Let me demonstrate - this is an example: What's wrong with this line? The answer is nothing.

 Using referrer.log do a nightly/hourly import of all sane looking (ie: not google or wlug.org.nz) /backlinks/ into the backlinks page from the web. This will give an interesting insite into who/where are linking to us and will be an automagic way to add 'content' to pages, in a backwards kinda way.

  ''I agree, with the same reservations (which I don't care about as much any more and won't care about at all if the OrphanedPages script could ignores pages with no backlinks if they have a ~CategorySomething footer... ;)'' 
  
 I would suggest a two-fold condition for ignoring apparent orphans: they should contain a ~CategoryFoo link and the ~CategoryFoo page should exist.

 If you sign your pages, you have a link on your home page to that page. Some of us (eg me) have huge number of backlinks on our pages. I might go and clean mine out. Although this iis a curious idea. Would it only show recent changes? The way the wiki stores it's DB is pretty broken, so I imagine that this is harder than you might imagine.

 What I meant (as opposed to what I said) is that it would a neat idea to have some kind of idea what kind of Wikis someone had worked on just by looking at their homepage. It would be cool to see that you're a php/debian kind of person and i'm a java/compiler kind of person and that JoeBloggs used to be a windows weenie but hasn't been around for 6 months. I have no idea how hard this would be.

-It's not quite the same as what you've asked for, but I got the [greenstone wiki collection|http://www.wlug.org.nz/gsdl/cgi-bin/library?c=wiki&p=about] to record the last author for each page, and they get grouped by author. So you can see which pages someone was the most recent editor for (at time of indexing). -- JohnMcPherson
