Thanks everyone, I've created a table of all of the pages that seemed
relevant at http://wiki.winehq.org/WebContentTasks/WikiParty. I put
down details on that page and its parent instead of cluttering up
this email.

As for the preformatted text issue, I actually just tried a few
things in the sandbox and you can cancel the exorcism. I'm seeing it
too. It seems to be specific to the GUI editor so if you don't mind
using the text editor in the short term, that won't choke on the
preformatted text. I'll post my thoughts in more detail on the bug
report.

Then for the spammers, I'm with the discussion in the link. We have a
lot of valid links to resources, and restricting all external sites
would cripple the wiki much more than the spammers, but having to
request an account sounds reasonable to me. I doubt someone familiar
with Wine and interested enough to edit the wiki would be discouraged
by a short confirmation process.
