Comment on The Parser that Cracked the MediaWiki Code

Comments

From reading the article, and especially the interesting comments thereon, it seems this problem is half a bogus "language" specification and half that the unwashed masses are inputting any damn thing they like and Wikipedia accepts it.

I suppose this is one of the knobs that must be tuned to balance between reproducible I/O and turning away meaningful contributions from the community.
