JA: Snerfling, it's too late for me to absorb the stuff you did, so I'll look at that again in the morning, but I did have a couple of questions from looking around the site. For example, I notice that there are lots of simple directories like "Directory:Johnny Depp" that apparently belong to OMG, but they are not structured as subpages of that directory, so I'm a little puzzled why I'm creating all this DOSoid structure?

:We allow users to create directory listings for other legal entities until which point those entities show up and claim the listings for themselves. That is, we have some users, like OMG & Garrett, who anticipate being able to market their wiki editing skills to these entities once they are turned over. A personality like Johnny Depp could in turn create sub-pages for each of their movies, etc.
:Since you are apparently a math wiz, there's nothing stopping you from creating stand-alone directory listings for all sorts of individuals, publications, associations, etc. Just beware that the pages actually belong to the appropriate entities when they show up @ Centiare.
