+1 Good idea. We'll add crossreferences from various places in the wiki, such as Hive Versions and Branches <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Home#Home-HiveVersionsandBranches> and the Language Manual <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual> umbrella page. (Also DDL <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL>, DML <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DML>, and Select <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Select>.)
