That sounds as though it might be worthy of a stubby reference in WP...
not the kind of source material Wikisource should be accepting with no
discussion or preamble (is it referenced by any other WM project? not on
ENWP, afaict). I blanked the page for now. What's the process for handling
inappropriate wikisource content?
Before I made an issue of it at Wikisource, I wanted to bring it here to
the Wikitech list to make sure that it was what I thought it was.
Simply deleting something that I did not understand on a technical level
would have been inappropriate. This is a recent article and an orphan,
and would only have been found by chance. Had the contributor used a
more normal title and user name I might never have noticed since I never
go into this segment where I understand very little of the code. This
kind of problem is fortunately not common at Wikisource, but the
incident will certainly be raised on the Scriptorium now that I know
better what it is.
