Hi Jarkko,

Good changes, the main page was getting hellishly long.

One man's trash is another man's treasure... I'm trying to build a 1:1
mapping of short examples to the API doc, because for me these usually
communicate the function definition faster than the formal definition.
I've got no problem with (my) Examples being replaced, and agree
that's the right thing to do. I tried to salvage my examples by moving
an old revision to API_Examples... but that moved Examples over as
well and created a link. So I moved it back again and that's fine...
but now API_Examples redirects to Examples... so I can't use
API_Examples. If you know how to remove the API_Examples redirect
without removing Examples, that would be great. For now I'm using
TJP_Examples instead, with the hope one day this will be able to
become API_Examples.

Good idea, I suggest just going ahead and modifying the links...
otherwise someone will edit the old page and either their changes will
be lost or yours will be.

Recently wikibooks instigated some sort of review system, but from
what I can tell this can safely be ignored. It has the annoying side
effect of making changes to the main page not default for anonymous
users until an 'editor' 'sights' them, however you can still choose to
see the latest version regardless (or login to avoid it altogether).

I'm pretty new here so am by no means a definitive source, but my
understanding is that it is encouraged to contribute at will.


Regards,
Tim.
