Mahalo Hunting V.1.2 - Fix Unrelated Questions on Mahalo Pages

"Mahalo Hunting" is the first a series of new contests where the competitions are specifically designed to help improve Mahalo. Think of "Mahalo Hunting" as a Task / Scavenger Hunt hybrid.

In this competition, you must
A) FIND any Mahalo Topic pages whose Q&A section are full of unrelated questions
B) Using the question box on the page to and ASK 3 separate questions related to the topic. See example below.

C) As your answer here, post the topic page(s) and links to your questions. The screenshot below is an example of how it looks.

It said you could ask from your own page. I did read and I didn't make the page about Louisville flooding. I was doing searches last night as always and when one comes up on a subject I research it and fill it in. This is somthing I do all the time as it helps when I research the next time. When I entered and the page was created the questions on the page were not related. So I ask 3 to make them related. How did I misread? Please explain..

To make sure you get the credit for it though, you should link the pages that you asked these questions of.
"C) As your answer here, post the topic page(s) and links to your questions."

You didn't post the links to the, I guess 3 ?, pages.

No worries vic, I fixed your answer to include the links. Thanks for participating, for future reference here is how you can link text on Mahalo.

Hey Vic, the whole idea behind this contest is to actually find a page on Mahalo whose Q&A section are full of unrelated questions. Then you should ask three questions (from that page) and then post the links in here.
Please re-read the instructions above again.

1) Behavioral Economics

Are there any examples in which ideas from Behavioral Economics have been successfully used to design policy?

Is Behavioral Economics more than just another fad?

Do the ideas in "Nudge" and "Predictably Irrational" apply to you?

....

Ok I've actually created a few more questions already, but I don't think I'll have time to submit enough to win in this contest.

So I'll leave my answer here, and maybe add to it later.

EDIT:

When I just submitted this answer, it somehow got mangled and the URLs and anchor text had parts missing, even though they are still correct in my input text.

Ah, it's pipe with double square brackets and space with single square brackets... quite easy to forget! :)

I got the urls working for you, your code was a bit off, you added a "Pipe" | instead of just a space.
