there are so many gross details involved... lets list a few
 * if i create a template (via copy of dwl), then create the template/doc (via copy) - they will not link up correctly until a second-publish from the template-page... even if no change ? idk - bleah...
 * i need to make a bunch of little mini-TEMPLATES like RED-gem to cover using the color elsewhere in the wikia - otherwise, i cannot link over to red-allies or red-enemies or whatnot...
 * i cannot seem to create separate namespaces (altho i guess i could ask "god" to open one up for us, but why would they ? so the big-namespaces are Main, Project (gonna use this), Template, Module, User, and Talk... ignoring all the other weird-wonderful namespaces that obfuscate things...
 * i sorted out how to pass parameters thru (or override) from modules to TEMPLATES to articles last time with the mkCollections-greeting stuff; however interestingly, the other-place put the trivia-template and then just created the trivia-article by calling-the-template only...
 * TEMPLATES should have categories (for themselves as to what-they-do) whereas their /doc-page should be a non-article-category... and then, subtly, the template can add-a-category to the article-based-upon-that-template by default... so truly, no page should exist without being instantiated via a template (or more?) so that there is some cleanups automagically done ahead-of-time...
 * theres apparently a special place called Special:Log which tells useful stuff...
 * btw - Categories - can, by obviousness, create their own Category-page; but said Category-page can also be created ab-initio so that we dont get stuck with the crap of first-several-pages being autogenerated... also there is code that can be put-into said Category-page so that it isnt seen...
 * i think the first/next thing i want to do is think about COLORS... good old RED/YELLOW/... and how they have an icon, and text, and meaning depending upon how it is used...
