I just read this on IRC, then saw this message. I've already sent
Angela an e-mail about it. My suggestion is that the user shouldn't do
this for his own work, but only for significant changes contributed by
others on his wiki. Otherwise we have too much of a loophole for
spamming Wikipedia with links to external sites.
