Ok, here's an idea that might work for more interactive wikipedia missions in case anyone with big enough pockets wants to try it.

- Create a mission constructed of only Wikipedia articles
- On each article after the first, ask one or more questions as part of the description, that relate to the previous article somehow and where the answer is a link in the current article
- Depending on the difficulty of the question, stash a crate with appropriate rewards in the correct linked page.
- Repeat this until the end of the mission.

This will force people to actually read the each article if they wish to figure out the answer(s) and find the treasure.

For example:
I Start from the wikipedia Article for PMOG. The next link in the mission is "blog" and there, a potentially easy question might be "who is the father of blogging?". Someone clicking on Justin Hall then would get to loot the crate you'd stashed there.

I hope this might help if you want to create a more interactive mission, at least until PMOG gives us the appropriate tools to do so more easily

Ah I see, that's a pretty nifty idea I might do it.

Of course it would rely (well, not rely, but ideally) on other people replacing the loot with whatever they can spare to keep the mission alive.

Indeed, or you can stash more than one crate at each correct answer so subsequent players can find them

Ultimately, this will be much better done if sponsored by pmog itself if they had some way to make a recurring crate.
