I once tried: http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=guides:lmer-tests but I don't think I will do this again on the existing Wiki. I am a frequent Wikipedia-Writer, so I know how it works, but this was discouraging. 1) The structure of the Wiki was and is still incomprehensibly to me. I needed too much time to find out how to put the stuff into it. 2) I decided to use the "large guides" section, because I wanted the thread transcript to be one one page. If you check the revision history, you will find that I needed more than three hours to get it working. The main reason is the sluggish response, and the incomprehensible error messages or the lack of it when some " was not matched or whatever (Thanks, Ben, for correcting the remaining errors). This is a problem of the Wiki software used, other Wikis such as Media(pedia) are much more tolerant or informant. Then, Philippe Grosjean informed me: "Your page is way too long and is a rather crude copy and paste from the long thread in the mailing list." I disagree. Why do you have a "large guides" section? And taking into account the amount of work I put into reformatting the transcript, I decided it was my first and last contribution to the Wiki.
