I'm not the programmer, but should it really be a link
to a regular wiki page? I think it would be more
appropriate if it linked to something like
[[Special:Next]] or {{NEXTPAGE}}. It would also be
convienient for that to appear at the bottom of the
screen automatically, but that would take some coding.
