I think I mentioned this in an earlier post; simply adding a special SideBar
link list at the top of a page should be good enough

SideBar: <side bar title>
* [link title]
* [link title]
* [link title]

<rest of page>

Hrm. So you're suggesting that each page have a manually-created
sidebar? One thing I do like about the current (and currently planned
future) setup is that it's easy to create a custom sidebar for a section
of the website. (E.g. all the dev pages have the same sidebar.)

no, the side bar would of course contain all the sidebar sections that
apply to the current page (inheriting from "parent" pages, like today).

(I'm beginning to think that categories might be a better way to link
pages to each other in the wiki, but the same approach works in that
case too, of course).

Very cool. I'd love to see something like this on the actual website...

Is the hope that in the real python.org version edits will show up
immediately, as they do in your version? Or that the edits will be
visible in the preview pane[1] and that clicking "Save Changes" will
basically be a patch submission?

[1] Currently, the style isn't the same in the preview pane, so if, for
example, I add a "Sidebar:" section, I don't know if I've done it right
until my edit is committed. I don't know how hard it would be to fix
this so that the preview pane looks just like the actual page...

working on it (the wiki will probably not be quite as open, though...)

this depends on what the pydotorg maintainers prefer. having tinkered
with a few alternatives, I think I prefer the immediate approach.

the wiki way is save, check finished page, and fix if necessary. edits
are cheap.

(I'm sure it would be possible to hack moinmoin to do the preview via
the final renderer, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.)
