What could be wrong is described in your big paragraph above.
People may well go to <wikipedia-l> to discuss [[en:]] specifically,
which is not what <wikipedia-l> is for -- we already have enough problems.
I am about to make a post in which I consent to trying this experiment,
but I think it would work best to combine it with an outlet
that sends out an unfiltered version of <wikien-l> --
the Gmane idea sounds like it would work for this.
We don't need to increase the [[en:]] on <wikipedia-l>.
