Yes something of the sort. I've been going over the Mediawiki site and think I found something that will work. Be able to do individual pages in the wiki and then have an alphabetical link list. I really want to set up something that is fairly easy to add to and keep it in alphabetical order automatically. A database file would probably be the most efficient way to do it, but would require a bit of time to set up for input and output.--David Von Bargen 19:46, 18 May 2005 (BST)
