No prob! <grin> People on the mailing list at
address@hidden know more than I do about emacs-wiki,
though, so I'm cc-ing your mail to them in case they can help. If you
find it too high-traffic, you can use http://www.gmane.org to read the
emacs-wiki group. =)

Let me make a quick reply before including the rest of your message.

When you add a directory, emacs-wiki adds all the subdirectories under
it as well. This means that your main Wiki/ project also contains all
the subdirectories of it. A quick fix for this may be to specify the
Wiki project as the last project in the list, so that it checks all
the other ones first. Hope that helps!
