I'm not sure if you are just talking about the organization of the wiki
pages, or links from the radio specific (driver) code to launch the correct
page on the wiki.  However, the later is something I've thought about a
little, but never suggested because I didn't think there would be enough
critical mass in documentation.

It could be helpful if from Chirp there was the possibility to launch a
radio specific web page on the wiki for help:

     - before starting the download from radio
     - before starting the upload to the radio
     - after a download or upload has failed for troubleshooting advice

The help menu should also have an entry to launch the radio specific wiki
help page.

This means there should be a little planning in how the wiki pages are
named.  There should be (some) correlation to the radio driver since it will
have to generate the URL.  The radio specific pages on the wiki should be in
their own name space.  I don't know what redmine's capabilities are, the
"name space" could be as simple as prepending a prefix like "Radio-" for all
of the radio specific help template pages.

The rationale for this that I believe many people will attempt to use the
software before looking for or reading any documentation.

I'm not sure if the formatting is going to make it thru the email software,
but here's a first cut at a template for each radio. Don't worry about the
encoding around the titles - that's all MediaWiki formatting. Some of these
titles we already have in the wiki - there are several that we don't. To me
this is pretty comprehensive, but I'll let you guys/gals be the judge.
Anything with an arrow is a comment for additional data to be added.

==Getting Started==

* [[Beginner's Guide]]
* [[FAQ]]
* [http://chirp.danplanet.com/download/0.3.0/Model_Support.html Features
Supported in (this model)]
* Put the link from miklor.com for the radio here (if available)

==Making the Connection==

* [[CableGuide]]
* [[CableGuide FTDO OEM Cables]]
* [[FAQ Adjusting the Serial Port Settings in Windows]]
-----> Add how to access Device Manager in Windows to this article (all 
versions). This data is mostly available on the RadioReference wiki
* What is the original manufacturer cable number?
* Are there other known compatible cables (Yes/No)?
** If yes, please list Make and Model number:

==Prepare the Radio==
* Is this radio a 'clone mode' radio (Yes/No)?
** If Yes, state the keystrokes and/or menu items needed to put the 
radio into clone mode:

==Using CHIRP==
* [[Downloading a Template from the Radio]]
* [[Editing the Template]]
------> The MemoryEditorColumns article would be linked from here
------> Are there any special keystrokes for special functions (like 
repeating data down a column)? If there are, list in this article
* [[Uploading a Template to a Radio]]

==Importing/Exporting Data==
===Importing File Formats===
* [[Importing EVE files]
* [[Importing Kenwood HMK files]]
* [[Importing Kenwood Commercial ITM format files]]
* [[Importing Icom icf files]]
* [[Importing ARRL Travel Plus tpe files]]
* [[Importing VX5 Commander Files]]
* [[Importing VX7 Commander Files]]

==Importing Data from External Sources==
* [[Importing Data from RadioReference]]
* [[Importing Data from RepeaterBook]]
* [[Importing Data from przemienniki.net]]
* [[Importing Data from RFinder]]

===Importing/Exporting Comma Separated Values (CSV) Data===
* [[CSV HowTo]]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcX9XM5NJxs How to create a CSV file 
in Chirp (YouTube)]

==YouTube Programming Videos==
* List all the YouTube programming links here

==Help Topics==
* [[How to Get Help]]
* [[How to Report Issues]]
* [[Rules for Loaning a Radio]]

If a topic doesn't apply because the radio doesn't support it, or CHIRP 
doesn't support it for this radio, it would be dropped. The template 
would be editable for this purpose.

Are there topics I missed? Now is the time to speak up.

It's a Live Mode radio so you can't save an img. Try export to CSV.

You choose Radio, COM port, Vendor, then Model then Ok. If that's what you
mean
by saving a file from the radio. Now if you've already downloaded from
your radio, changed some stuff and uploaded back to the radio and you want
to save that template as a file chose from the menu bar File, Save as. That
way 
you can name it and see where it gets saved to. Not sure if you have to
prepare
the TM-V71 to read and write to using it's set menu but if you've already
had
a successful download, write data, then upload back to the radio you've got
that part conquered.

I forgot to add something to the section where it lists Editing the 
template - if there's anything that's radio specific that CHIRP 
can/can't do or any special functions, then it has to be listed here. 
For example I remember seeing something on the miklor website where 
CHIRP couldn't program any 6 meter frequencies for one of the Baofeng 
radios. That's something that's very important to know
