Isn't there a way to add a "Wiki" tab in the header next to the "Posts" tab?

Here's an example from r/coolermaster, and they don't even freakin' use their Wiki. LoLs

It says there's two types of trackballs: ambidextrous and thumbball, but the image linked show a ball on top, not controlled by a thumb but by the other fingers (or index). In that regard, shouldn't there be a third category: "fingerball"?

People using trackballs are more divided in taste of fingerball or thumbball. That's why I think it's an important distinction.

Going more in taxonomy, maybe we could have two categories: ambidextrous and chiral. Then in the latter, two types: fingerball and thumbball.

What do you think?

Quickly track between screens, yep, one of my favorite parts of the trackball, just give it a fling and I'm way over on left screen. Like the free scroll function on a Logitech mouse BUT as far as I know Logitech doesn't offer the free scroll on it's trackballs.
