I actually think that would be fine on wiki pages where any python writer can add links to their stuff. I already suggested that there could be one for module. There could also be some for statements and builtins.
It might be nice if at the bottom of the official docs there a link to a wiki version of the docs and in the wiki version there were external links to things like MOTW. Of course, the wiki would eventually have links to resources that were OK but not great, but I don't think that would be a problem as long as each page of the wiki has a link to its equivalent in the official docs. The idea would be if I wanted to know about module X, first I look in the official docs. If I find that my question wasn't answered, or I just want more, I could switch over to the wiki to see if anything different is over there and then check out the list of external links. I'm not sure if it would be maintainable or not, but would it be that bad to try as an experiment? If after six months it doesn't seem to have worked, take the link out of the official docs and shut the wiki down. No harm in trying something out, right? -- Carl Johnson
