When you get mediawiki installed, go to my mediawiki site and grab all the
templates too. I just set them up in the past couple of days for use in the TDE
wiki. They include a very good FAQ template as well. Navigate to the
Special:Export page and put a check in ALL 3 boxes and paste the following list
into the BIG export window (leave the little window blank).

That should get all the needed/relevant templates.

Feel free. I GPLv2'ed the entire 3-Column template and provide the tarball for
download, so grab it and cannibalize it at will.

Take a look at the main css menus in Lynx (I use it too). It works beautifully.
The tree menu does require js, so it does not play well with lynx. But,
seriously, the css-menu provides a beautiful indented listing of all sub-menus
in lynx.

We'll be here. You guys keep up the good work, I'm going back to picking blindly
on systemd user session/process tracking...
