Following our exchanges on Chat & .CSS  I just wanted to present you with a possibility for you to create a  fully blwon HC Wiki "TEST" Environment where you have access to all Templates, data & pages since you'd be the "FOUNDER" of this Wiki ... (^)

First you need to "START A WIKI", it takes only a few minutes.

Once this is done  you can  to  the Statistics  page, at the bottom there is a section for Database Dumps ( cannot directly #link it because it is a "Special:" page ) ...

The Current one links to a XML file that contains an "image" of the current Wiki (it is 3.5MB zip file and about 22 MB uncompressed) The FULL one  contains ALL the History i.e. arr Revisions (it is a  8.6MB zip file and about 820 MB uncompresed).

Once you have the Current (XML) file, just need to go into the  Special:Import Page of your "TEST WIKI"   and  import it ... You will have a fully working copy of HC  Wiki ( minus the images) ... You can then copy a selected images on the pages you work on to have a similar Display ...

And if you need to refresh pages from the HC Wiki:  Instead of using the Databse XML Dump use the Special:Export page to have selected  Pages and/or Categories exported  and import them in the TEST WIKI ... You can then test ANYTHING  (^) !!! From .CSS, TEMPLATES,  .jss,  any script of any form .. including Wordpad Seach & Replace since XML files are easy to read and understand  especially to someone familiar with HTML and wiki-text   (^) ...

O f course this TEST WIKI  could be shared between you Scorpion & Shanera to Test  Wiki Structures "in situ"   like for instance you could each chose a Location /  set of Collections and  present each other  how you see  the new "collection strucure" and be free to Comment directly on those pages the pro / cons of each option  that could also be the creation of Individual Collection pages to see what it looks like, etc ... etc ...

I will tag Scorpion  and Shanera in case they're unaware of this possibility.
