It's great to see this catching on and that people want to contribute. Bkeeneykid created a page on the first wiki, so if you have any information to contribute, please do.

As more content is added, it can be sorted properly and refined.

What's interesting about WCD is a lot of teams have really opened up what they mean in the last few years and doing things that were considered not kosher previously. For example, skipping any form of chain tensioning.

I had no preconceived notions.

Define 'wrong'. I've recently been experimenting with an exact c-c chain setup to remove the need for a tensioner. Yes, chain would have to be replaced, but it seems better than relying on people who might over or under tension the chain.

I've gone ahead and added some topic headers to give some direction for starting. Feel free to expand beyond what I've listed or make changes where you feel are necessary.

I see you've made the edits, but you haven't actually submitted the pull request to the main wiki, so no one can see the edits publicly. Go to your commit, and there should be a "Pull Request" button that should guide you to submit it to the main wiki. I should approve it within a few minutes then.
