Cluttered position pages and other wiki problems

[Michael Allan]

I guess we agreed on Saturday to approach this by posing it as a
specific problem instead of a solution.  Maybe the problem is creating
a position draft when you're a newcomer and unfamilar with MediaWiki.
(Our original solution for that was to automate it.  It's maybe the
last unfinished item for the mini-beta.  We'd put it on hold because
it didn't seem the highest priority at the time, since we weren't
asking anyone to create drafts, and it's maybe 12 days work.)

Whatever the problem, and if G/p/c is the top priority, then should we
try to squeeze it in here somewhere?  http://zelea.com/w/G/p/c
