Glad to see the mediawiki stuff going strong so soon after my post last year - not saying my post was the catalyst though.

I just finished watching the Mr. Tuckers video on Power vs. The Market and was also thinking about a recent facebook thread I have going with a Statist and concluded on this idea.

Why not use mediawiki, just a seperate area within the existing installation you guys have, again for a "Debate", "Q&A", or "Talking Points" section. The content would be structured to help others for use in debates they might have while interacting with others in their day to day life. Things like:

Economic Fallacies

What about... ? Questions commonly encountered with Statist.

Historical Myths. 

Principles to agree or disagree upon before the economic details.  For instances, the non-aggression principle.

The important part is the articles in this "new" wikipedia area would be written and structure for "debate" .  The "debate" wiki article on the topic would of course have the appropriate reference links and also give "useful" debate material to share - for instance, youtube videos other might of done on that particular point.

All I have time for night before I goto bed, hope it's enough to think others gears turning.

I see there is a Pro-Cond  debate section under the 'older' wiki area:

It didn't seem to progress that much though and they were written more as essays rather than one issue per article.

Perhaps you mean something like this: Argumentation:ABCT?
