There is an advantage in the extra layer since articles about LW or OB posts in that they can be categorized by the Wiki software without worrying about where they are hosted. I have noticed a few of your posts are hosted on yudkowsky.net, but the wiki won't care. It would treat those the same and makes interlinking easier.

Either way works for me, but I need to know how to proceed with regards to Posts at LW. The simple question:

In the meantime, there are plenty of other things to work on, so I will just backburner that project.

(Edit) I touched up the first paragraph a bit. Also, since there seems to be an obvious push away from wiki articles for posts I will just can the whole idea until someone specifically asks for it.

Concurring with Vladimir, no. As an alternative to the page you point to, articles like this one should be developed instead. This is not a model article, but it gets to the concept of interest without being unduly inward looking.

If you are reading through the OB/LW archives, here are some ways to contribute:

  • Create concept pages if they don't exist
  • Add posts as references to wiki articles
  • Add post information and summaries to the list of articles
