I'm not sure what your point is here. It's a good thing that people spend time to update the wiki, especially with up-to-date content, but I don't like somebody moving stuff purposely put in a preliminary location. You could probably argue that nothing on a wiki is owned by anybody (as that is the idea of a wiki), but that doesn't help in keeping things organized. > I am willing to start using my name as login.

It should, but as more people start to edit the wiki using the same user account it will only become more difficult to keep track of who did what, or who is still working on what.
