I'm capturing various issues here as i work through the docs

Style and such

 * DBMS
 * MySQL
 * Oracle
 * PostgreSQL
 * SQLite


 * Programming Languages
 * Batch File
 * Javascript
 * PHP
 * Shell
 * SQL


 * Web Server
 * Apache


 * Links


 * Syntax
 * Class
 * Configuration Variable
 * Function
 * Method
 * Object
 * Variable

Terminology

 * GET data or GET parameters or query string?

Key pages

 * Installation and Manual:Installation_guide (unify?)
 * Manual:Administrators
 * Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki
 * Manual:Coding_standards
 * Manual:Combating_spam (which needs to be linked up) and Manual:Combating_vandalism could be unified or at least borrow from each other
 * Manual:Config script - needs updating
 * Manual:Configuring file uploads
 * Manual:Configuring MediaWiki
 * Manual:Configuration settings
 * Manual:Contents
 * Manual:Database_access
 * Manual:Preventing access
 * Manual:Security
 * Manual:System_administration
 * Manual:Upgrading

Misc.

 * Manual:As_your_site_grows - remove or integrate into another page
 * Manual:Backlinks - ironically, there are no links to backlinks
 * update info on AdminSettings.php in Manual:Backup
 * we really, really need to separate pages as much as possible. Info gets fragmented across many pages then quickly gets crufty.
 * Manual:Backup_MediaWiki_in_Windows has no links and isn't checked
 * Manual:Before_installing needs work
 * Manual:Blobs_table needs a description of what it's for
 * i wish that Manual:Build_Tidy_from_source didn't need to be in our manual. I can't believe how useless http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ is...
 * articles like Manual:Collapsible_tables may need to be moved somewhere else - they don't really belong in a technical manual.
 * add a note to LocalSettings.php about how Manual:CommonSettings.php is used for wiki farms?
 * Manual:Contents/To_do needs to include some kind of flagging or category system. Manually maintaining a list of content to update, etc. makes work that doesn't need to be done. Need to take a hard look at flagged revs for this.
 * examine existing templates (and make new ones) to ease tedium.
 * Manual:Custom edit buttons should go into a hacks section
