Ahha, Thanks Joe, yes just what I was looking for.

So looking at examples with more than just the single default test  
case, Chat seems to stand out as the most interesting example for me:

	http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tests/Activity/Chat

Though it has an empty test case on that page (not too pretty), it  
does some interesting wiki magic:

{{#ask: [[Category:Test cases]] [[System component::Chat]] |  
format=embedded | embedformat=h4 | default=No articles found in  
[[:Category:Test cases]] with [[Property:System component]] of  
[[Chat]]? }}

...which auto pulls in any other Chat test cases (there happen to be  
two others) into that single page:

	http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tests/Activity/Chat/Private_chat
	http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tests/Activity/Chat/Public_chat

Think it's very useful for testers to hit one known location [[Tests/ 
Activity/Chat]] and see all the cases they may want to run through.

Anyway, thinking out loud, my plan of action would seem to be:

* edit the default test case on [[Tests/Activity/Moon]] to be a more  
friendly and Moon specific
* add above wiki magic to [[Tests/Activity/Moon]] incase separate test  
case pages are later created
* consider if Moon needs any special test cases (I think not just now)
     * if it does, use the [[Form:Test_case]] to generate the new pages
