Yes, this is not about the Syslinux wiki specifically. This matter
affects all wikis using mediawiki.

There are several Linux distributions using mediawiki for their
documentation and users' support. There is one wiki that is very
popular even for users of other distros, with several of its users
being involved daily in its maintenance.
Considering that the pre-formatted text is very frequently used in this
type of wikis, I am hoping someone with enough knowledge / contacts
will realize that this matter affects many users of many wikis and will
decide to act, or at least comment here.
By posting here (in the context of our recent update to a newer
mediawiki version) I am trying to raise awareness, after having failed
to have any kind of reply at #mediawiki. Perhaps there are more
appropriate channels - reading some of mediawiki's mailing list
archives, I don't even know which one would be actually helpful for
this matter.

Still hoping,
