As a newish user, I find many unlinked terms and acronyms. I mean, you're a wiki. Link a little?

It's more than a little insiderish and off-putting. You want community building, don't you?

This is a weak point on an otherwise brilliant site.

Considering that you've actually got pages defining these terms, but you don't link to them... First two I bumpted into were WMG and fanon. Searching from google.com is a bit 2000's, but okay...

For example ("WMG" - no breadcrumbs, no internal links)-

Plus, your URL structure doesn't exactly yell "we do index.html equivalents for folder levels!" But it turns out, in this case, that you do, though, really, linking terms that do have definitions AND folder levels should be automagic. Needs maturing.

I understand how one can think it is a little insider-ish. I am not sure what this means, though:

> For example ("WMG" - no breadcrumbs, no internal links)-

The google search for WMG brings up Wild Mass Guessing as the first result, an article which explains the meaning of the term.
