• "topic lists" should look like this: \a topic\another topic\third topic\and so on
  • You can use whatever character you want as a divider; the first character in the list becomes the divider.
  • Topics in the "user topic list" will be prefixed with your username, to distinguish them from global topics (which are common to the entire wiki)
• "above the fold" text will appear in summaries/compilations and eventually in the RSS feed (when RSS is implemented); "below the fold" generally only appears when you look at the actual posting page.
• If you want the post to replace the form window instead of showing up in a new window/tab, remove "target=blogpost|" from the 3rd line
• The intrinsic form variable !TIMESTAMP uses the PHP date format, which is documented here.
• The "title" variable actually a sneaksy way to fool MediaWiki into sending the data to Special:CreatePage. Special:CreatePage lets you create a new page based on the form's contents, but other things could be done if there was a way to tell the form to submit the data to a different URL. (Which there may be; not sure.) Certainly "title" could be changed to redirect to any other data-processing page within the same wiki.
