Okay, I have download the tags plugin. If I go this route then I would create a page for each "something", be it item, spell, city, nation, religion, etc. Basically a contained entity. Then I would create overview pages for each of my tags. Thus if all religions are tagged with the word religion - I would create a Religions of the World overview page that walked those tags. Is this correct? Chip On Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 2:48 AM, Martin Gill <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I use the tags plugin on my wiki to create the overview pages.
