> > You indicated that your audience is other TW users > Actually I aim to have a large amount of traffic from all over the Internet, primarily Reddit. This wiki is the hub for the projects I work on, which is why I'm trying refine the style before promoting it to the general public. Reddit in particular can be *brutal *with their feedback, they are going to absolutely tear it apart. It is a wiki, a format that isn't necessarily the most appealing, but I'm not under the illusion it will be the place everyone goes. Unlike independent posts, the great thing about a wiki is that all the content can reference each other using links, which is great for fans wanting to delve deeper. I suspect only images and videos can be truly mainstream, which is what I aim to share directly, and that is what the wiki needs *a lot* of, pictures pictures pictures.

My philosophy is already that all pages should be reachable by following links from the index, plus there is a persistent button with text for the sidebar, so I think people shouldn't have much of a problem finding the sidebar.
