usergroup display page shows a link to the group's wiki (groupname . ' wiki') if it exists. Since most of them are no longer used (except gods, pollsters, maybe cabal, others?), seems like that can change. They could all be removed, or replaced with a link to the scriptorium, or the deprecated wikis could be renamed with ' (deprecated)', or we could add a wiki node id column for usergroups and use that if set. Any opinions?

Re: Usergroup wiki links

    Good catch! I am 99% in favor of this change. Usergroup wikis have, essentially, been superceded by usergroup-private threaded discussions. The wikis are still live, and even if not added to anymore, still contain useful information. So I'm not sure that having the links there is bad... except to the extent that they distract the user away from the usergroup-private threaded discussion. :-)

    To be clear: the change I am 98% in favor of is removing the link, and not replacing it with anything.

      Done. A bunch of wiki: links should likely be removed from nodelets, but I think those are all in sitedoclets so a task for SDC?

        Well, again - I wouldn't necessarily remove the links — after all, we still have links to the Everything Bible, etc. — but we could de-emphasize them; and add links to the group's homenode, positioning the user at the discussion area.
