As a general PSA, the wiki is known to be bitrotting.  It's impossible to add
new editors, for example.  It'll eventually probably go away entirely.

I've fixed up a couple things Darrick asked me to do, but maybe we should
just put a big <blink>THIS WIKI IS BITROTTING</blink> at the top and be
done with it.
