Missing Invocations (Oh the Possibilities)

I'm having issues remembering how to do certain invocations that I haven't used in a while.

As we all know, there are a lot of possible invocations that we can use within Videosift and as we know there are several of them on "The List."

First of all, I no longer see a link to the FAQ page (http://videosift.com/faq). Am I blind, because it's not at the top of the page, not at the bottom and not in a drop down menu, which means it's a hidden page.

If I scroll down the FAQ page to #33, I can link to the Member privileges page (again, a hidden page that should be more obvious for it to be of any help.) (http://videosift.com/starpower)

Then I can get to some info about invocations. But the list is entirely incomplete.
Many of the invocations I am trying to get a grasp of are missing.

Some things that are missing:
- *amazon link-- (I don't remember what this is called) so we can link videos to books - are we still doing this?
- *Related-- I keep trying to do this one but it never works. It's not written down so i can't do this one.
- *Spammer-- another one I keep trying but I must be doing something wrong. (I've been using insta-ban because I can't get it to work - which I'm sure is the incorrect way to do it.) (example of it not working for me: http://videosift.com/video/Summer-Fashion-Trends)

I'm sure there are others that are missing, but I wouldn't know - Because they are missing

Let's get this list fixed and posted where people can use it. (please)
What else is missing? Lets ad anything that's missing.
