I know the linking on the wiki is very well done and the search works as long as you type in the right words BUT how about an index page which is then linked at the bottom of the main page, just a page with all the links to the spud wiki with the title of the articel and maybe if some one feels like doing lots of work how about even a short discription of each artikal, like that no one can say anything like: "Ohhh i didnt find (insert articel discription or name here) and therefore i made this (useless and time consuming thread)". SOme times the articals are fairly hard to find, especially when you are not specifically searching for them.

I'm pretty sure that's currently being worked on.

There's an A-Z of the spudwiki with links under each letter.

I really don't think articles on the Wiki are hard to find.

If you're looking for piston valves for pneumatics, one should automatically click on the 'pneumatic' heading, that takes you to the pneumatic page, then click on the heading for valves, then piston valves.

It's all very simple.

I like this idea, we could do both and just vote like we do with the small contests.

Talking about contests, we should have another one. I think I will start a new thread.

People seem to like "sniper rifles" at the moment, how about a contest with them?

*ahem* back on topic guys.

If you're starting a thread about a competition, good stuff. Just keep the discussion about it in that thread.
