=== Software ===
The biggest difference, obviously, is the wiki software. We're running the current version of [[mediawikiwiki:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]], which is the most widely used wiki software in existence. It may not be perfect, but it is significantly more flexible than the closed-source fork of PmWiki that TV Tropes uses. Useful features that you didn't know you've always wanted:
* Titles with any characters except "#" (and, in a few cases near the beginning of the name, ":") -- and custom titles that don't work can sometimes still be achieved with <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE}}</nowiki></code> markup.
* Links can have formatting embedded in the link text -- no coding three or more links just to have an emphasized word in the middle of a pothole.
* Categories allow you to add a page to an index while you're editing that page.
