[Discussion] Suggestions for RE Wiki Formatting

Hello guys, I've been given Wiki editing privileges, as RE documentation is very much needed. However, as I've never written and contributed to a wiki, I need some help on how to start this. First thing I'm doing is documenting all 1500 or so variables, starting with the Client-side ones. Problem is, I don't know how to organize them. Should I have a "main" page that has Each letter of the alphabet, which links to a small sub page with every var starting with that letter?

Or should I keep them all on one page, and categorize them by what they modify, and even sub categories for more in depth organization? Please, suggest and comment, as I need a direction. Also, if you'd like to directly help, ask quin and he will give you permissions as well. You will need a SourceForge.net account to do so.

As an example of my "sub categories" thing, here's my current (and very much not in "presentation" stage) work in progress on the Client Vars page:

"Find variable by name" -> alphabetical pages
"Find variable by type" -> nested categorization:
-models -> (iqm, md5, etc)
-weapons -> (whatever, etc)
-etc

so, both!
maybe on main page, have alphabetical & link to a categorized page

that's my guess,
srbs

I like this idea! Does anyone else have more? Perhaps to improve upon srbs's suggestion, or add your own?
