* (I'm not sure this is the best place to suggest this.) Get wxWidgets.org to put the current manual at http://wxwidgets.org/manuals/current/wx.htm as well as http://wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.4.2/wx.htm. This would prevent having to link to a specific version where not needed.

Anti-spam Measures you might like to consider:
 
−
* Require users to enter a username and password on the settings area (ie. they must have a user account) - Athon Solo
 
−
* Require users to enter a 'Summary' when submitting entries - Athon Solo
 
−
* When changes include a non-whitelisted external link, fail the change.  External links can be added to the whitelist at a different page (possibly with anti-bot features). - DFS
 
−
* Keyword blacklist for edits. There is almost certainly no legitmiate need for "casino" or "hentai" in the wiki. - Arkanes
 
−
** There certainly was in that suggestion! - Hendrik
 
−
* Put a one-click "revert to last version" link - at least make it easy to remove spam. - Spam-Remover
 
−

−
* Wishlist: Automatic linked summary of sections/headers/subtitles at the top of pages (like wikipedia page contents).
 
−
* No captcha verification for previewing edits (discourages previews).

* What happened to the previous revisions?  When I go to "view other revisions" I only see the last 3 or so.
