Shikkesora: added iceberg link + multiple modes hub link

'''Welcome to the osu! Iceberg Wiki, a master archive of osu! community events and lore.'''

The goal is for this wiki to contain every conceivable osu! moment, trivia, or lore from all game modes.

In other words, this wiki should contain any trivia fact or topic, big or small, related to top players, mapping, skinning, culture, community events, or '''anything that you only know because of osu!'''.

For wiki entries about osu!'s development history, see (and contribute to!) the official [https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/en/History_of_osu%21 History of osu! wiki page]. The osu! Iceberg Wiki is for everything else.

Any entries in this wiki that also make sense to be on the [https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki official osu! wiki] (e.g. entries related to mascots) may be copied over there.

Entries related to benign drama (e.g. most mapping drama) are okay.

'''However,''' illegal, highly indecent, or highly controversial topics are <u>not</u> okay. (I'm sure you can imagine something that fits this category. We want to document as much osu! history as possible, but unfortunately, we also think it's important to keep this place decent.)

'''When making or contributing to an article, please include as many sources as possible!'''

This includes forum posts, chatlog screenshots, profile links, and so on.

Basically, just show us where your information is coming from.

Shikkesora: hub page for cross-mode entries

'''Multiple modes''' is for entries that span more than one game mode at once. Stuff that involves both standard and mania, or all four modes, or anything that doesn't belong in a single-mode hub.

== Entries ==

For all entries tagged with multiple modes, see [[:Category:multiple modes]].

Shikkesora: swap misleading link for an inline add-entry form

This is the iceberg. Entries are arranged by how obscure they are. Layer 1 is stuff most osu! players know, Layer 10 is deep cuts only longtime forum lurkers and OGs remember.

<div style="text-align:center; margin:2em 0;">
<div style="background:#fde4ed; padding:1.4em 1.8em; border-radius:10px; display:inline-block; text-align:center;">
'''Add a new entry'''

{{#forminput:form=Iceberg entry|size=40|button text=Create|placeholder=Title of your new entry}}
</div>
</div>

Each layer below auto-populates from entries tagged with that iceberg level on the form above.

== Layer 1: Common knowledge ==
<categorytree mode=pages hideroot=on>Layer 1</categorytree>

== Layer 2: Well known ==
<categorytree mode=pages hideroot=on>Layer 2</categorytree>
