Apologies for Sam and GLF, who were unaware of this discussion, but, good sir, you could not have had better timing. We were actually just discussing this in the wiki Facebook chat this morning. The debate is still underway, and as of not even an hour before you sent this message we were debating making a poll of some sort anyway. So, in that case, I guess I'll get back to you when a verdict has been reached. Sam and GLF, feel free to boice any further opinions you have on the matter.

With respect, though, it is my personal opinion that the only things on this wiki that should get full pages have to either be about official mod content or about servers (since that seed was cast long before we thought of the problems it would cause.) It is a community, but the wiki in terms of main pages is purely an encyclopedia of the mod. It is my opinion that people who want pages about their resource packs should make on-wiki blog posts for them. After that, if someone wants to group them into a category to streamline, be my guest.

As to you and your worries: have no fear about your work being completely lost. You can (or we can for you, if you wish) back up the source code of your page before we delete it, and recreate it as a wiki blog. I do agree with Alte here, though perhaps he should have been clearer. We want as little content that's not part of the mod or endorsed by the mod team as possible. Joetater is developed by a player on the mod team and can be essential to running a mod server, so its page is justified. Likewise, Malvegil's NEI plugin is both insanely helpful and explicitly endorsed by Mevans, which is why he's gotten an exception in this matter.
