As a label for a menu item, "section" means a (formerly top-level) item that can contain "children," which are called "options" when making up a menu. (Now — as of 1.9.8 — that we have multi-level menus, there are new section levels, indicated by number. A section1 item is a "parent" that is a child of a section0 item.) These items can have any name and can link to anything, but . . .

Thank you for the detailed reply Gary. I am going to take this as confirmation that the theory is sound, but that my intended use strategy of the "section" field is incorrect and that I must tie this submenu to a feature, preferably in this case, the feature_wiki section keyword.

Again, thanks for the quick reply. It's always good to have a little validation when venturing into new territory.
