sort of hinted at in the point on editable pages; might need a link 
to c2.com's what is a wiki, or a wikipedia article, but I decided 
against using external links in this introduction, so as not to 
scatter the beginner's attention.

I consider this an Author topic; readers see tham any other link.

readers? by clicking the links :)

I considered addressing that, but it seems just plain old surfing to 
me. So I decided against it.
