Thanks, Tigersharke. We'll schedule an upgrade for after release (or at least after the current Guide is frozen).
Cheers,

Hello! I've just done a few moments worth of looking.. Firefox reports to me, in its 'Page Info' widget, that we have generator MediaWiki v1.16.0. I looked on Freshports.org, to discover that v1.16.0 is no longer supported upstream and has been deleted http://www.freshports.org/www/mediawiki16/. Also according to freshports.org, v1.16.5 is available http://www.freshports.org/www/mediawiki116/, but I would strongly recommend upgrading to v1.17.0_1 which was last updated on 07 Jul 2011 10:05:13. A much more up-to-date wiki software should help to alleviate some issues with expected/assumed features working (or working properly). Of course, it may not be the best timing to update our wiki from MediaWiki v1.16.0 to v1.17.0_0. PC-BSD v9.0 is in the process of eventual release (in a month or two) which means that the wiki needs to be stable for the handbook to get finished and then frozen. later..

No big rush on this, however, Mediawiki was recently updated in freshports to version 1.18.0_1 on Jan 5th, which means an even larger difference between what is there now and what will be installed eventually.
