Alex,
Good job on implementing MediaWiki and integrating authentication. I just posted my first entry and like it so far. I've had some experience installing using the software at work. It can be a pain to get configured at times.
I like the ability to specify which generation bikes that an entry may apply to. I'd suggest multiple categories when referring to generation:
[[Category:Pre-gen_Bikes]]
[[Category:Current-gen_Bikes]]
[[Category:All_Bikes]]
I browse the Web via Firefox. When working in wiki's, I use an add-on called Text Formatting Toolbar. It helps to toggle between wiki, BBcode and html code on the fly. Of course, I'm not above copying code from another page to match style
.
I'll try to add more content as I find time (two jobs and another kid on the way). I know I have some modifications unique to my bike that I should really share with everyone.
