Just added my thoughts to the "Start Here" wiki. Hope it's okay MC! ;)
Yes! I don't own it :)
Great additions, especially explaining how to see wikis, and quoting... I'm glad you noticed what I missed!

@Moose, the threads you've listed as "should be wikified" - are those the only destinations without one?
That was my doing :)
Not the only ones, just the ones I noticed while scrolling through the board.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I know of other threads that don't have wikis yet, like Spain, so I would say no.

I hope to take on some threads soon, I just want to finish my TR first.

Got it.

I think I could put something together for Alaska and Iceland, although it's probably gonna have to wait till I'm back from HI.

Perhaps at the top of every destination thread should be a list of airlines that fly there from major hubs.

i.e. Costa Rica

Jet Blue JFK <-> LIR
EWR  <-> SJO
UnitedIAH <-> LIR
AmericanMIA->LIR
US AirLIR<-CLT

I don't think that's such an "oh people should do a little bit of work". It's a Q often asked in TR threads. The reason I think it should be left out is because for a lot of places, there a lot of possible routings and therefore I don't think it makes sense to list them all. Ex. Sure, there might only be a few flights direct to TLV from NYC, but you can stop in 10 different countries in Europe and then fly from there to TLV. And the same with most destinations I think.

When you make the link, put an = and then the link in the first URL tag, and put whatever text you want displayed between the two URL tags.

This is what it should look like when you make it:

[url=http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=4.0]Maui, HI Master Thread[/url]

This is how it'll be displayed:

No, he's saying that both examples of yours appear the same (with your own txt).
