in reply to 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 Usergroup wikis have, essentially, been superceded by usergroup-private threaded discussions.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.

        Would you still want them to have the (*) to indicate unread messages? Seems unnecessary for mostly dead wikis. It would be nice if the discussion area link got a (*) when the most recent top level comment changed or something like that.
