This should probably be split into multiple bugs, for easier dissection and
discussion. One bug for adding a table of contents, one bug for adding a "go
back to wiki" link, one bug for adding more HTML formatting, etc.

Our version of that Flickr page would probably be
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API>. As you note, directly accessing api.php is
supposed to largely be for developers (most of whom just ctrl/cmd-F on the page
and search for what they need).
