My point was rather hastily made, but it does stem off a classic
irritation I have - and it's the one that is caused by people picking
MediaWiki when it's not appropriate for their needs.
MediaWiki is a wiki engine that's designed to scale to meet the needs
of...hey, look, deja vu. Point is, it *does* have a lower limit, and
it *doesn't* implement a lot of things that some people have come to
expect us to implement out of project scope.
If MediaWiki doesn't do what you want, *and there is something which
does, or is more likely to*, then pick the right software for the job!
Just because MediaWiki is popular, and just because it powers the
largest wiki farms in the world, doesn't mean it's suitable for a
fifteen user internal site on some corporate LAN.
Rant over.
