Right, except the BC2020 wiki has gone from zero to two links.  One link is enough (per sub-project, not tiles within a sub-project) to enter the Tasking Manager's "front door."  Yet "this" (Task 100, Ottawa - Validate Addresses and Split Terraces) hasn't had ANY link to the wiki (nor the Tasking Manager in general).  And that wiki is "only" for BC2020, yet Canada-wide.  It seems the Tasking Manager site, countrywide, and Canadian WikiProjects might enjoy a little harmony and organization.

And we just did, putting two links in one wiki.  More, later, in other (Canadian-based WikiProjects and the Canadian Tasking Manager) wikis?  Sounds good.  Not being local, I can't effectively do that, but others can, and I believe it will help.  A little bit of organization and project (links, wikis, mapping work...) connectivity (intra-OSM, as it were) goes a long way.  Nice working with you!

Thanks, you and BC2020 (and Canadians OSMers and all of OSM and all the little children...), too.
