Pretty Tracker in a Wiki Page

is a way to describe the Pretty Tracker functionality pulling tracker fields into wiki pages and displaying them any way you want.

This page explains how to use a tracker with the special field: page selector which allows you to associate additional info to a wiki page via a tracker.
A page selector field looks like a normal text box. The text you type into a page selector field associated that tracker item with the wiki page of that name. If the page does not exist it will be created.

Once the item is saved, and the page selector field matches the name of a wiki page, the tracker item can then be displayed on that page using the PluginTrackerlist.
