VrlWiki/feature requests

Feature requests for the software that runs the VrlWiki belong here. Record whatever you're looking for here and the administrator (currently Jadrian) will get an email about it.

If you have content requests for things that should be in the wiki, either create a placeholder page, or stick your suggestion on the main wiki talk page.
