I have kind of a thing about data organization and presentation, so I've been looking at ways to improve the wiki.
Honestly, as a new player, the wiki is kind of a pain in the rear end to navigate for several reasons. I often find myself having to hunt through several pages of links to find things as the search function is slow and tends to not return what I'm looking for. Even if I have a pretty good idea of the page title. Even if it does return what I'm searching for, it also ussually returns a great deal of unrelated stuff as well (do a search for 'skills' to see a good example of this).
One thing that I think would help with this is if the wiki had category support. I'm not sure if dokuwiki has a plugin for categories or not (if it doesn't, then I'm not sure if the pain of migrating wiki software would be worth it), but it would make organization and navigation a lot easier.
Pages could be categorized very easily without any major restructuring of the wiki or more than a small time investment and would net a huge measurable gain in ease of navigation.
