Use XF Help template in VW

We use VW as our knowledge base / FAQ.
XF has a simple help system. VW is vastly superior to XF help. I would rather turn the XF help off to avoid duplication.
XF Help has a few nice features that I would like to use in our Vaultwiki FAQ:

- Show available BB Codes
- Show Available Smileys
- Trophies

Is there any way to display this in our Vaultwiki knowledge base?
If not then please add this.

There is not currently a way to do that.

Special:WikiCodeList will show all custom BB-Codes (even from other add-ons), but not the built-in XF ones. We can probably extend this Special page to include the built-ins.

If editing the content is unimportant, the easiest solution would probably be to create a Special:Smilies and Special:Trophies to duplicate the functions of those pages.

I am afraid that Special is not used by normal forum members. Only advanced wiki editors will ever look in special. Especially since its setup is so foreign to the XF system and setup.

Vaultwiki is used by us to create knowledge base articles. We have a wiki book for all knowledge-base articles.
The articles must contain all information that base level users need to use the site functions. This gives users one go-to place to find guides.
Optimally it would be possible to have a list of all bbcodes in a wiki article section/paragraph. This would not have to be editable.
