My recent wiki experience has been horrible. I'm now down to random strings typed into google (with accompanying combinations of "wiki", "tianocore", and "edk2") and desperately staring at the results. I tried to tell apart the working URLs from the non-working URLs, but ultimately I gave up.

If I can make two wishes, I'll make these: - Please let old links (scattered around mailing list archives) work. - Article histories (after all, this is a wiki) should be available and continuous. I'm one of those freaks who sometimes compare versions of an article.
