Presumably Fergus meant adding the relevant links to the actual text of the page. I'd be particularly interested in a Parlett reference if you can track it down. Likewise a link to at least one of the Gilman games (probably Commedia dell'Arte, maybe GraTiA; could in principle also cite M&B6) referred to wouldn't be amiss, and you could also mention Rook Mania which seems to be the only other game using it so far (discounting one I've been cooking up).
Searching for both Panda and Slip‐Rook using the Google Custom Search I have the distinct impression that the Panda is most popular as a piece component rather than on its own: it's been combined with the Ferz (or as Bastion), the Knight, the Bishop, and of course the Slip‐Bishop (as Harlequin or Erlqueen); allowed to capture as full Rook; and there's even been an augmented halfling version.
Obviously these latter aren't the slip‐rook itself, but it's been noted a couple of times that, especially for less‐common pieces like these, covering closely‐related pieces on the same Piececlopedia page (especially when these are themselves too rare to warrant an article of their own) might be worth doing — I've done this on both of my Piececlopedia articles and H. G. has suggested the same recently.
Probably the 5 different versions discussed in M&B6 aren't worth mentioning: all appearances thus far seem to be ‘even‐leap’ — not even the lame panda seems to have seen use (though, for reasons that make sense in context, my aforementioned unsubmitted idea involves an ‘odd‐leap’ panda). Likewise Fender and Marshswitcher (M&B6/8 for Panda+F/N) probably don't deserve mention as they were never used in a game under those names.
