any kind of software that has wiki pages on mageia for eg: url links (which is 
none atm; but then, that's the whole point of this discussion)


if i have packaged software (eg: plasma-applet-launchbutton ) which has no URL 
field, Christiaan Welvaart suggested to put a wiki page up and put that page in 
the URL field.

I just wonder if this is a good idea or not. i'm sure we don't want any type 
of software to be put on wiki and in URL fields of packages.
