So, I joined FANDOM after Forums was introduced and have not really dealt with wiki-style forums. I am trying to go through the help page and extension page for it but there is one thing I still don't quite understand. The parameters and their values used on Forum:Index and Forum:MyForum are nearly identical. What is it that causes DPL Forum to list only one page for each "forum" on Forum:Index but multiple pages on Forum:MyForum?

Okay, so a bit more reading answered my previous question, but now I have a new one. I noticed that pages like Forum:Index won't allows anons to edit them. However, depending on the wiki, the page is supposedly not protected. Does the extension have some special protection rules it applies? If so, what are they?

Also, it seems that I can still edit the page even though it is supposedly "archived". Is that just because I am an admin? What happens if I edit the page while it is "archived"? Add new "boards"? I guess what I am trying to ask is, do I need to wait until it has been unarchived before making changes or can I start making changes while I wait?
