Having all the modules listed in alphabetical order is great and all, but how about something like:

Getting Started
Tutorials
Objects
Modules
Libraries
Snippets/Demos
Useful Links

I understand that for reference, it's useful to just have all of the modules listed down the side, but for new users it's quite daunting that once you get away from the main page, you just have a list down the side of module names.

Reference manuals are like that though.

But it isn't a reference manual, it's a wiki. Just as the Lua reference manual and the Lua-users wiki are separate.

That's where you're wrong. I guess, partially at least. Based on interpretation.

I use the LÖVE wiki as a reference manual 90% of the time.

Same here; it isn't useful for much else.

Ha, I would agree with that statement, but perhaps with a different intonation.

The LÖVE wiki is a reference manual because no one has written any other documentation on it.

So, get to it.

I started to, remember, and got shot down. Apparently having an article on "local" etc did not sit well with the rest of the community.

If you however, write a tutorial on Lua in LOVE that explained such things, I would welcome it.
