Just an FYI: When we used "python" as in a snake in one of our wiki
articles, the article gave us an error message/forbidden to write message.
So, I realized (after a bit when I finally narrow down the sentence
causing the issue) that MediaWiki was interpreting this as Python -- the
programming language. As a work around/fix, we added the
<nowiki></nowiki> tags around our snake e.g.,
<nowiki>python</nowiki>.
