Traffic drives improvement The outlines aren t complete but they are complete enough to be useful to readers And what good is a table of contents hidden in the back Tables of contents are most useful in the front The hatnote issue is very similar to adding the Contents link to the sidebar And you opposed that too on the grounds that the system wasn t ready to be displayed Shenme captured the essence of the situation very well A normal wiki usually doesn t have a core structure and so people don t expect it but Wikipedia has quite a lot of material and various ways of organizing it Having a link in the sidebar to the contents page will help people to discover what organization there is whether perfect or not a separate topic And actually pointing people to the contents page and getting their resulting comments will improve the page Don t wait for the improvements first The OOK needs editors for each of its pages and for the essential pages it s missing Relying on a small team to finish all of this will take decades Do the math I ve been on this project for almost 4 years already So if hatnotes will benefit readers while attracting editors to these pages then that looks like a pretty damn good solution to me The Transhumanist
