Abuse

Manipulation

Dogma

  • religion- the bad parent
gollark: Another thing I thought would be neat is some limited scripting support, or at least the ability to say "include the content of this page here" or "show all pages matching this query". But that would be very hard.
gollark: One thing I thought would be neat would be a visualization of the links between pages, but that would be hard.
gollark: I mean, "would" is inaccurate, the system already implements this, except tags.
gollark: Also, because I prefer this, pages would be indexed entirely by a canonical name and there would be no hierarchy, merely tags.
gollark: So far, all you can do is *view* pages, *edit* pages, and view *revisions* of pages.
