Note by Nathan Young:
This is a deliberate bastardisation and subversion of how the wiki is used
In order that people don't think I'm a defector, I'm making clear what I'm doing as I'm doing it. Tell me what you think
Anyone should still edit this document as if it were theirs
The wiki would be better if it had a range of features I discuss below
If you disagree, edit it! Sometimes edit wars are good
Wiki features and how valuable they would be
Docs-like comments on wikis
It would make it much cleaner to write things I intend to work on in future.
The tech exists
Double bracket search and tagging
When you use [[, it opens up a search window to all Lesswrong pages. You type in what you want to reference. If there isn't one. it creates it eg [[Solipsism]]
Disputed changes sit beside text, like comments
A process for requesting a number -> getting an accurate forecast
There is a description in the text
A user flags it for quantification
Other users collaboratively write a forecasting question
Users give estimates, weighted by LW karma score (I hate this but it would be better than nothing, hard to abuse etc)
Ideally, eventually this gets replaced by a manifold market or similar
Toggle open close sections
Gwern-style floating windows which appear when you hover over text in Lesswrong
Embeddable manifold markets
Embeddable squiggle estimation
Taking variables from manifold markets and squiggle and displaying them within the text
Some pages I have edited to be the style of what I think should be all pages
