Why can't they go that extra one percent and clean all those silly zeros
out of their tables?
Yes those stubborn text browser users should be denied extra features, but can't they
at least be given something readable. Search engines would thank you
too.
Sure you can say "not a MediaWiki problem, go contact the website", but
if MediaWiki gave them the proper tools to make their templates, they
wouldn't need to make such a mess.
