I think that the Wiki would benefit from Content Templates. By this I mean that when I create a new Wiki entry I would have the option of selecting a template to structure the content, kind of like a simple form. These templates could be tied into content categories. The template would only contain some basic headings but this would provide enough of a common structure to the Wiki entries.

As an example, lets say that that our Wiki contained a category called Fish. If I add a Fish entry to the Wiki then it would be auto-populated with several headings: Name, Species, Population, Habitat, Recipes, Web Links. I would then fill out the information under each of these headings. When the entry is saved then it would look similar to all the other Fish entries in the Wiki. Obviously I could override the pre-defined headings if I liked, but hey it's a Wiki.

In this field you can enter the actual request.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.

In this field owners can describe what they have done or want to do.
