There are broken links on http://www.oregonhikers.org/field_guide/Greenleaf_Peak -- the hike page doesn't exist, and "A New Look at an Old Landslide (USGS)" is broken or removed.

I deleted the second link that's broke.

I'm not sure about the first link, Greenleaf Peak Hike - maybe someone is planning on creating that?

Jeff Statt created the page way back when but did not create a hike page, so the link is indeed dead. I've put a notation next to it: at some point I'll go back, do that hike and create a hike page for it.

I wonder if there's a way to put comments in a page that don't show up when people view it

Like you could put // at the begining of the line and it'll still be there when you edit it, but people viewing it won't see it

Is that the c++ syntax for a comment, I forget, something like that

You could experiment with HTML comments...

<!-- can you see this? -->

It's intriguing that it's showing up here, which leads me to think the CMS is escaping those red characters (which demarcate the comment).

That works - I copied it to just after "description" and doesn't show up when viewed, thanks

Huh! Oddly enough, it doesn't show up in View-Source either. So the CMS is apparently honoring it, and stripping them out before spitting the page content? Well, cool. :)

Aren't there discussion tabs on most wiki software?
