No. We have www.cocopedia.com for general knowledge. I am just wanting a good online manual for BASIC that documents all the commands, has fixed examples, and then includes notes on how they work and optimization tips.

I'd include a summary page about BASIC on the CoCopedia, but when you  seared there you get tons of pages that mention words, and that makes it harder to find a specific bit of info, especially as the site grows.

Thus why I want to have it self contained somewhere.

Mediawiki software supports some way of grouping data with a name, so pages all get prefixed with just that data, so that might be an option, depending on how the search works.
