Has anyone implemented adding an information ticker (where you can control the content) into their wiki so that, for example, it scrolls across and allows users to read the content placed there ? Even better would be for the content items to be links that could be clicked.
I'm guessing some [[embed]] tag with a service would be the way to go …
Thanks in advance.

In html-speak this is called a marquee and is very straightforward to do, including having several options with links. You just need an html codeblock and an iframe.
First put the following codeblock on your page:
[!--
[[code type="html"]]
<HTML>
<BODY>
<marquee
behavior="alternate"
direction="left"
bgcolor="#D5F8B4"
scrollamount="6"
onmouseover="this.stop()"
onmouseout="this.start()"

</marquee>
</BODY>
</HTML>
[[/code]]
--]
[[iframe http://yoursite.wikidot.com/yourpage/code/1 frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="600px" height="50px"]]
This gives the result below. I have put an explanation of the different marquee parameters on my page here.
Edit: curiously Gareth I have an aunt and uncle who live in Bishops Cleeve.
