What (summary)

Extend the Working Topsoil Wiki to both view and edit the admin wiki without losing any capability of the existing mediawiki implementation. Explore clean implementations of alternate backend storage, generalized Easy markup, ajax calls for red links, established javascript test method.

Why this is important

A company goal is to grow a top 10 website. We've established the first production component that will grow AboutUs to top 10 status. Accordingly, we must maintain this project's momentum by exploring small innovations every iteration while delivering practical value to some community of real users.
