By the way, if you are planning on making significant changes to one of the pages on the wiki, and you have push access to sympy, I should note that you can clone the wiki repo with git (see https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/_access), edit the files locally, and push them up. This is also a good idea if you suspect someone else might be editing the wiki at the same time, because the web interface doesn't do anything about merge conflicts, but with git, you just get a regular git merge.
