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.
gollark: Features list, ideally:- full text search- revision history (working)- Markdown (working, apart from some extensions I want)- file uploads- tags, search by tags
