I really like confluence but why oh why is it so darned hard to find help for things. It seems every time i try to do something new i have to spend a minimum of 2 hours researching stuff to find the answers I need.
This time i haven't been able to find the info i need. Please tell me that there is some way to incorporate a template which uses a table in confluence 3.3. I am literally beating my head against a wall trying to figure out how to do this. I simply do not grok why it should be such a chore to find help for the simplest things. I am really frustrated.

The Scaffolding plugin might help. There's some documentation on their site about dynamic table data.
Now, as for finding that info, you're right. How were you to know that this is buried in a plugin called 'scaffolding'? Organizing all the knowledge here at Atlassian is a major challenge. We are a very open company - publishing our bugs, hosting a community, allowing the public to comment and edit our documentation, post plugins, and host content on their own sites (like above) - it all adds up to a difficult challenge! Please email me if you're interested in talking more about how we could improve our search. Knowledge management (which includes making all this info discoverable) will be my focus this year.

I have found a way to get wiki markup directly recognized by the RTF editor. Go to your Profile in Confluence, click the Settings tab, click Editor under Your Settings, and then click the Edit button. Uncheck the Disable Autoformatting checkbox and then click the Submit button. You can now directly enter wiki markup and the RTF editor will convert it on-the-fly into XHTML-based RTF.

Is there any way to found out how many Confluence pages a user has created (or edited) in the prior year. The documentation does not appear to even address anything remotely like this. We have an annual performance review and it would be great to easily find out how many pages one has created (original author) and how many one has edited (contributor).
