Nice find. For the curious, the phrase was added to the "Five pillars" page in May 2005, seemingly copied from the user interface: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=14525251&oldid=14496130.
The phrase was introduced to the user interface of the (later to be known as MediaWiki) software in July 2002, it seems: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/618.
