Wedge FAQ Articles
Here's a Wiki so people can put links to good old wedge articles.
Please feel free to add links into any useful articles you find.
Even if you can only cut and paste the link from the browser please give it a go -
I can always tart it up afterwards - it's finding the good articles that's the hard part.
After all the good work, PH have re-done their database so that the article numbers may have changed, leading to broken links below (you get an empty page).
They didn't see fit to update this page automatically.
Please PM me (adam quantrill) if you find any links don't work and I'll try and fix them. ta.
