I'm not sure where to report this, so I'm filing this bug here. The wiki's USEflag template (powered by a custom mediawiki plugin, as I understand it) only supports packages in the main repository. There is no support for ebuilds in the GURU repository. This makes articles about software currently in the GURU article appear sub-par relative to other articles in the wiki. Just have a look at the FreeBASIC article https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=FreeBASIC&oldid=1077950 vs. the GZip article: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gzip and you'll see the difference. If adding packages to GURU is to be encouraged the wiki's USEflag template plugin really should be able to handle both the main repo and GURU interchangeably.
The wiki pulls from packages.gentoo.org via a json file produced by that site. To add any additional support, a known method must be offered by GURU. This is not available to my knowledge but if were to appear, then it could be offered. I suppose it could be added on to the GentooPackages custom MediaWiki plugin or could have its own depending on complexity. It all depends on the data.

It all depends on the data. Interesting... that makes sense. Do you happen to know the URL for the packages.gentoo.org JSON file? I'd like to pull down a copy with wget and take a look at it.
