Just don't make it too "fussy". When I cleaned up the wiki there were a fair few places where the same information was repeated. Then instead of not being able to find something because it's tucked away somewhere you didn't look, you still can't find it because it's swamped by all the (repeated) information that's all over the place. Probably a discussion of UUIDs etc belongs in the bit on setting up a new system. Note that the "editing guidelines" says to use UUIDs as much as possible - what was that I said about not finding stuff because you didn't look where it was :-) Cheers, Wol
