This is all too complicated for me as a mere mortal. I guess a wysiwyg editor would be asking too much (htmlarea). But I wanted to mention there would seem to be a great tie-in to http://www.hon.ch/Project/HONProjectsPIPS.html, a major project to link health information with a handy consumer experience. There are a number of ongoing projects to create infrastructure, which by leveradging (free/open source) or parallelling might get consumerium off the ground in a useful way.

:Notice at [[Meta-Wikipedia]], a similar situation, you have a main page that is basically for developers and frequent contributors, and to find the stuff of general interest there's a subpage [[Main Page Neutral]] (neutral as to the interests it serves).  And a fair bit of [[troll]] discourse as well, though the [[sysop power structure]] tries to suppress it and censor anything that questions their so-called "[[virtual community]]".  We aren't doing that, and believe a [[troll-friendly]] approach (as also practiced at [[Recyclopedia]] and [[Metaweb]]) is going to work better to bring under-reported views to light.

Is there an easy way to link to recyclopedia?  Something like [[rec:corporation]]?
:See [[interwiki link standard]], the link would be <nowiki>[[en:recyclopedia:corporation]]</nowiki> when that's implemented.  Which it isn't, yet.

Perhaps it is necessary to [[Consumerium:protect page]] this one ([[Main Page]]) to prevent [[spam]] from discouraging newcomers.  If they see there is stuff here, they will click around and find non-spam to read.  If they see only spam at the main page they will rightly conclude that the [[Lowest Troll]] is not doing his or her duty.
