It's been in the MediaWiki code base for months and we've been
screaming for it to be switched on (see wikien-l in all that time).

I've directly asked on wikitech-l if there's some reason this feature
is *never* going in and if I should just stop bothering, and been told
that's not the case and that there are things that need fixing first.

But the original developer (Magnus Manske) *still* can't get any clear
list of what needs fixing for it to go in.

So. What's up with Special:Validate?
