abstinence.

I'm slowly learning the world of the Wiki database; for instance it seems

that the ability to search and find a string of words is easier if there

exists a page of that precise name than if the words are hidden inside a

page. Is that correct? If yes, it would make sense to have as many small

pages as possible, rather than a few large.

All the material can be various things depending of how we present it

on the opening page. Is that correct?

And yes, scholars can join, slowly, after the tone is set -- somewhere in

the levelheaded middle ground between blind faith fanaticism and

dry-eyed bookworm intellectualism.
