Hi! A directory holding temporary files may be called "tmp" or "tmp.d", or even ".tmp" (or even "temp.d") which is clear enough I believe. How about: wiki.d/ (individual pages here) wiki.d/tmp/ (temporary files related to the pages This will change nothing for current wikis, and all temporary files will be in a separate directory. My preference is that the wiki.d/ root directory stays named wiki.d/. If necessary, the pages may be moved to another sub-directory like pages/ or data/. And I don't quite understand your worries about Safe mode, in safe mode the php scripts *can* create writeable directories under the document root and in the user's (site's) home directory. I've used three different hosting providers in Safe mode and never had to manually create a directory. At one place (free.fr) it was not possible to *unlink* directories but creating was ok.
