I think having it as a single page will be a bit messy and cumbersome.

I would instead propose taking full advantage of the category functionality that wikimedia offers. It may be simpler and easier to navigate if each manual page simply falls within a 'mudletmanual' category (or whatever you want to call it). It would make it a lot easier on the eye and definitely more user friendly for people new to mudlet and/or scripting.

Right, and then we'd have a single page that concatenates all of those pages' content into one. I don't think that scrolling down instead of clicking 'next next next next next next next' is more userfriendly, either. In fact there are some great addons for modern browsers that replace that paradigm with a scrolling method.

*facepalm* lol of course.

Alright i've gone ahead and created ToC for the manual here. None of the pages exist yet so they're all dead links.

It would be great to see more people get involved in this.

I've done my best to add in the function listing, though not that good with making it display nice. I also go through pages and fix any typos that I notice. Somehow three spam bots have shown up, and it seems only Vadi can delete them I think. I've marked the three spam pages they've made. Just search for spammer, and you'll find them, or look at recent changes. The three spam pages need to be deleted, but once again, I can't. I can put the information up, but a tad confused in giving it a clean look, so if someone could help me out in that way, I'd be grateful.

You're exactly right Omni. Only an Administrator can delete pages from the wiki.

Vadi - Is it possible to put a captcha on the registration page? That would prevent the spammers registering accounts. Then limiting edits to only registered users would solve the spam problem.

Manual:LUA_Functions needs to be renamed because Lua is never LUA, it's not an acronym.

That was the link name, and I didn't notice.
Edit:
Realized how to change page names. Have fixed several names and page links.

Cool! We'll see about installing an openid extension (google login, facebook, etc)
