There are 3 types of people.
There's those who need more information. They're here. Like me. Lots of time to complain and ask silly questions.

There's those who have more information. They don't have the time.

Then there's people who have some information but not necessarily understanding of what the first group needs :) But together they inform each other of inside information. Specialists get enough from this group but beginners are left confused. :) But of course, any information is good so thanks to everyone who has contributed! I do feel a bit like an **** :oops:

The AO wiki is an important TECHNICAL resource for this hobby. I don't think it needs to be cluttered with hear say opinions or stories from 90s operators. Therefore I would proposed that such "information" be grouped under a "trivia" header at the very bottom of a particular wiki page.

Although I'm mostly active on another forum, the AO wiki is where I document stuff I spent time figuring out due to lack of documentation. ( mostly wiring and such ). It's a small contribution given how much I have benefited from the existing content.

Yes, it lacks an official convention, but just use existing pages as a model/template.
