As far as I can tell Harry Potter is using Wikipedia to

pick out the absurdist nonsense from what may be a genuine contribution.
Whether this equates to pataphysics or not I have no idea. But it is
essentially corrupting Wikipedia. In my opinion he is every bit as much of a
vandal as Michael and should be treated similarly with blanket reversions.
I agree. It sows an atmosphere of distrust, which, going by
the pataphysics manifesto, is the goal. It's a waste of my
time to research things and add them to an article if the rest
of the article is fiction masquerading as fact; no reader is
going to believe any of it. [[Templars in England]] looks
plausible for instance, but given Harry Potter's other
activities, how am I supposed to know if any of it is true?
Better to vaporize it and start over.
