Improve the Wiki

 * What is the process for selecting feature articles? How do we emphasize the best?  How do we make sure less-than-best or less-than-ready don't end up featured? Lise 14:07, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Subpages – Clarification and possible policy change. Help:Subpages says: “By default, MediaWiki's subpage feature is turned off in the main namespace, but can be used on talk pages and user pages. See Help:Namespaces. In namespaces where the feature is switched off, any slashes (/) within a page name are simply part of the page name and do nothing special.”


 * The above paragraph seems to talk about two different things.


 * Where subpages can be used. This seems to imply that subpages are only for talk and user pages.
 * The breadcrumb trail that can be automatically generated. Should this be turned on for other types of pages? Judy 19:39, 11 October 2011 (UTC)


 * What are all the FCK editor bugs? Can someone volunteer to add them to the Known Issues page and/or the Editing Tool page?
