There was an error in that uri due to me placing extra `:wiki` path when
creating pages.
It's all fixed now, correct uri is:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/VladimirKosovac/StylingPage/WorkPage

Thanks to Thomas Chung for pointing this out.

Most certainly. Due to large number of trial-and-error edits on my part,
as I was learning the basics of the formatting, I thought it would be
better to move this section elsewhere, so edit notifications annoy less
people - only four subscribers in alternate location :o). I'm inclined
to move these few pages back into Drafts, consistency wise it is much
easier for everybody.

I couldn't find any "prior art" to refer to and thought this would be
good idea from the practicality point of view. We are supposed to show
that commands are run "su -c" way. However, /usr/sbin is not in normal
user's path, so we'd have to write the full path to binary for the
command to work. I got around this with admonition on how to alter $PATH
and use only binary, two pages further down:

I'll keep going and if needed make style changes later on.
