[Campaigns-l] Internal Structure Proposal

[Chad Lupkes]

Ok, the Buddism task page is very similar to what I've started to put
together for Languages.  If we created these page lists onto Templates, we
could reference them from multiple sites.  I know we can pull in a central
template into a wikia, so I assume we could pull between various wikias.

I don't know that automatic changes that cross a language boundary are going
to be possible at all.  And I think the === markup simply creates the <h?>
tag, which in turn create the TOC.  Other than links (this page#this
section), I don't think we could pull over sections without the text being
within a template.
