As this is a WiKi shouldn't the items be in the wiki rather than referring back to the forum?
e.g Please see the Issues Section on the disco3 forum.

You're probably right there Taz , but as you know it takes time for those that have compiled a document to rearrange it if needed and get it onto the Wiki , until then it serves a purpose.Just needs more input from all here.Early days yet .IMO it's a great idea and see from the logs that you've been contributing yourself

So how do I add to the Tips and Tricks part of it? 
I've pressed 'Edit' at the left and it's given me a box full of code. For example, the word uses (in bold) is written as '''uses'''. Do I add my bit in and try and copy the code bits in get bold etc.? 2007 Porsche Boxster (987) 2.7

The three apostrophies ( sp?) either side of the word uses is what makes it go bold so yep.
Use the preview page button at the bottom to try things out.

Well I've successfully managed to add a bit in the Tips and Tricks section on programming the remote. Hope it's not too long and winded though  2007 Porsche Boxster (987) 2.7

I'm guilty of that too, but it's a work in progress that needs time so that fills the gaps temporarily. I'm sure others will be adding things over the coming days. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

One of the most frequently asked questions by new members is 'What MPG figure will I get?'.
Is it worth puting a Wiki page stating the official fuel economy figures, some figures reported by members (eg. mostly motorway drivers, mostly country drivers, mostly urban drivers, off-road etc...) as there are hundreds of threads on it - it would be good if these could be condensed in to one easy page.
Which section would I put it under, Maintenance? 2007 Porsche Boxster (987) 2.7

I was thinking that.
What MPG will I get, what tyres are available (link to wheels/tyres page), where can I find information on dealers near me (link to Dealership Feedback), what spec. comes with the xMY Discovery, etc...  2007 Porsche Boxster (987) 2.7

Good plan CY
Don't worry if you don't know where a page should go, get the page written and worry about it later

I've started creating some pages with information on different types of tyres (AT, MT and Road), starting with this:
http://www.disco3.co.uk/wiki/index.php/All_Terrain_Tyres
For those who have a greater knowledge/experience of these than me, pleaes do add to the page, particularly with Advantages and Disadvantages which are fairly short just now
Edit: MTs done too now: http://www.disco3.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Mud_Terrain_Tyres 2007 Porsche Boxster (987) 2.7

Good stuff Chris
But you've got the Cooper Zeons as MT when they're AT.
Also, there's a 285/50/20 [the ones I'm getting]
There is also an eighteen inch
285/60/18
also wondering, should the speed rating & load index feature?
