IMO wikis—which are apparently “Expert How-Tos and Guides” now—worked much better in the past. Much of the problem is the way that text formatting was materially degraded across the board a few years back. (An example: try indenting the bullet list in the sandbox wiki above. If it can be done at all, it’s far too hard/obscure.) But some parts are specific to wikis.

I’m not talking about the stupid way the editor appends another CRLF every time a wiki is edited, which is the least of the annoyances. It’s the fact that several things work very, very badly, starting with the supposedly WYSIWYG editor, which doesn’t accurately display the resulting formatting. And there’s a recurring issue where it is literally impossible to insert a CRLF between paragraphs. Need I even mention the fact that a FT thread URL inserted into a post, as I did above, autogenerates a link with the thread’s title, but this desirable behavior is lacking in the wiki editor?

It’s like working in a restaurant kitchen where periodically some genius decides that the knives need to be duller, the gas flow to the stove burners needs to fluctuate erratically, and the saucepans would work better with scorches on the inside. You can still prep & cook food, but it’s needlessly difficult.
