Summary

Added six more feature ideas brainstormed against typical wiki functionality:

  • Table of contents — finishing the already-scaffolded article_toc column (schema exists, edit.php always writes an empty string to it, nothing reads it)
  • Internal wiki links — a [[Article Title]]-style shortcut
  • Move/rename an article — the URL slug is currently fixed forever after creation
  • Watch/subscribe to an article — notifications currently only cover the pending-approval moderator flow, not reader subscriptions
  • Categories/tags — browsing is flat today
  • Wiki-specific search — flagged that this may actually be a bug (wiki content likely isn't in phpBB's search index at all) rather than purely a feature request

Investigated and written by Claude on behalf of William Jacoby (bonelifer).

Table of contents (finishing the already-scaffolded article_toc
column), internal wiki links, move/rename an article, watch/subscribe
to an article, categories/tags, and wiki-specific search.

## Summary

Investigated whether phpBB's board search indexes wiki content, as
flagged in #7. Confirmed it does not:

- No search-related code anywhere in the extension (`grep -rl "search"`
across all PHP/YAML returns nothing)
- Live test: searched the board for "trivial" — a word that only appears
in the live, approved "Getting Started" article's text — and got zero
results

Updated the TODO entry from "check this" to a confirmed gap, with two
non-exclusive fix directions (hook into existing search backends vs. a
dedicated wiki search page).
