gollark: There are various problems with this.
gollark: > shell out
gollark: Ideally I would have something which fuzzily searches all existing pages as you type in a link for appropriate page names. However, it is actually quite difficult to do this.
gollark: With minoteaur™ (in theory (very theoretical theory)) you would simply hit /, type in the new page name, click/keyboard shortcut somehow "create new page", type your content, put in appropriate links by merely putting [[ ]] around the page name, and click "done".
