[OLPC library] Overweight Wiki Page

[drew einhorn]

If I understand what you are suggesting:

    after I use the <noinclude> ... </noinclude>
    to prune all the text
I   end up with at TOC with links into a TOC without links, not very useful.

I'd be happy to link into right place in the right template.
No need for scrolling out of the bottom of one template
into the top of the next, and vice versa.

mediawiki bot?  Could you point me to the skeleton?
