There's already this note in the http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...rums-work.html sticky post at the top of the MR forum:

There's no forum-level wiki. Also, it seems most people don't read wikis or stickies anyway.

Exactly.

Don't get me wrong, if this happened it would greatly satisfy my OCD, but good luck with it
