I have no idea why this message didn't get sent.. heh

I wouldn't know where to begin.  I don't think anyone's looked at it
from that angle.  One of the concerns is that administrators don't
like the pages to even exist in the history of a page.. they want to
ban the edit from ever saving in the first place, instead of playing
catchup by reverting.


Curiously, chongqed.org has a bot which goes out and tidies up
people's wikis using a "good bot"..
