One word: Dewey Decimal System. :-)  So now I'm going to give away my generation: I know how to use it because I worked as an assistant librarian before libraries computerized search & find. If you had needed me to help you find something in my library, I would have overwhelmed you with results. Believe me when I tell you, when anything was assigned a DDS classification, it was findable (unless it had been misplaced or stolen). It is an amazing system.

In digging around the LG wiki, I found that a "Content" category has existed that hadn't been used. All articles are supposed to include the category, but users (and previous admins) haven't done it. Perhaps this was someone's long-ago idea for a Table of Contents. My wiki's community is not as active with one another as I've seen in some other wiki's. In fact, I'm probably the first user in a long time that explains the reasons for changing something in a page, or what I've contributed. I not only leave summaries that say more than "fixed" -- I sometimes post a comment in the article's Talk page.

I think your idea about improving the Search tool is a very good one. And I'm going to take you up on the offer for adding something below the search bar as a guidance.

As for users not being automatically directed to where they can find help in the welcome message: I edited the message on Tuesday (after you received yours) to let new users know where to go for a "how to". Little by little, I'm catching up with omissions in the wiki (still can't figure out how to insert my name into the welcome message, instead of the absentee admin's).

And I did not take your comment as criticism of my request. I know how incredibly helpful you have been towards me. ;-)
