It's all black magic to me, but...

1) Are there any threads you should add to the links?

2) Should you try and explain any of the jargon (eg: which of "#!/bin/bash" is input by you and what is a computer prompt)

3) Links: single '[' and double '[[' brackets
- [[Linux Joysticks and Gamepads]] links another wiki page seamlessly... Linux Joysticks and Gamepads
- [[Linux Joysticks and Gamepads|Chucklefeatures]] links that wiki page but retitles it... Chucklefeatures
- [https://github.com/Grumbel/jstest-gtk] links an outside page, is incomprehensible, and looks bad
- [https://github.com/Grumbel/jstest-gtk chucklefeatures] links an outside page and retitles it
- [[https://github.com/Grumbel/jstest-gtk chucklefeatures]] links an outside page, retitles it, and looks clunky as the outer brackets appear on the page

4) Might this help: Format for colours?

5) And there is also this: https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/EliteWiki:Sandbox (good for tables)
Comments wanted:
Missing OXPs? What do you think is missing?
Lore: The economics of ship building How many built for Aronar?
Lore: The Space Traders Flight Training Manual: Cowell & MgRath Do you agree with Redspear?

Helpful tips, thanks. I have updated the page and hopefully it's clearer now.
