Just because Firefox gets FirefoxRelatedPages doesn't mean the other
browsers need them - their feelings aren't likely to be hurt. :-P

Doing it that way is just going to bury everyone in a pile of
sub-index pages that only exist to "index" one or two actual pages.

That doesn't help us as the folks who have to maintain the mess, and
it certainly doesn't help the people who might actually want to find
helpful information in the wiki...

Delete all the <browser>RelatedPages except Firefox's, would be my suggestion.

Also, review what the automatic [[FullSearch(title:foo)]] tags are
producing - on the KonquerorRelatedPages index, there's one real Konq
page and one old spec page that has nothing to do with actually
running the browser.

The Opera search was/is even worse - there is only one Opera page on
the wiki, one redirect, and then the search macro picked up a bunch of
pages with "Operations" or "Operate" in their titles... Given the
current state of the wiki and the wiki search engine, I'm not sure
using the search macro is useful.

Another $0.02,
