Hi Michael,

I believe this particular implementation will be unreliable. Section anchors 
are quite fragile. All it will take is for someone to change this:

   ===3rd Class===

to this:

   ===Third Class===

and your automatic links (anchors) will break. Likewise, if you have two 
identical section headings on a page, you won't be able to link to the second 
one: anchors will always jump to the first one.

Instead of this particular implementation, I recommend going back to your basic 
business needs. At first glance, it looks like you want readers to be able to 
jump back and forth easily between prose and reference material, and you want 
to track which docs still need to be written. But even that is a particular 
implementation. Who is your audience? What tasks are they trying to do (which 
your wiki is supposed to help with)? Tell us those basic requirements, instead 
of prescribing a solution, and see what people can come up with.

My two cents,
DanB
