WIKI organisation??

Umm, I just wanted to bring up a niggling annoyance about the wiki, if anyone is out there or concerned or in ownership of the necessary technical skill to change it... basically, say you are on a page, which you decide to edit, you go through the editing process, and end up back on the page, as newly edited by you. But then, if you want to go to the page above, as it were, as in the page containing the link to the page you are on, you either have to go back to the home page and through all the links to get back to it, or press the back button in your browser and go back through all the edit pages till you get there. Since the wiki is organised somewhat like a series of documents folders, would it be possible to create one of those handy buttons which moves you up a folder for the wiki? I am of limited technical knowledge and this is quite a structural thing, but anyway if anyone else gets annoyed by this and is up for doing it, that would be cool. --Bschulz1 13:42, 30 September 2007 (CDT)

Hello. I'm not the brains behind the wiki, but I can splurge out Deleuzian tropes. If I understand you correctly, then the best policy would be for people to get into the practice of making a link at the top or bottom of the page to the one it most directly relates to - but this would often require multiple links. As you will notice from the addresses of pages (i.e. each page is simply http://chelseawiki.org/index.php?title= ... followed by the page's name), the wiki is not a hierachical/arborescent structure in which folders have subfolders (i.e. ...users/jonathan_agnew/carrot_cake_recipes), but rather rhizomatic in its structure, with each page technically having equal structural weight within the architecture - although not in the practice of use. On a more practical note, the 'what links here' button in the toolbox on the left will tell you what links here. I could have just said that really.
Hope you are looking forward to the return; bag a nice light studio space, open a small tea shop. Try Agnew's cake.
See you anon,
Anon (but yes, Damian)
