Not really the point, though. Wiki is not highly technical. The social-interaction part of WP is much more demanding than remembering the mark-up.

I find it 'unfortunate', however that the recent writing contest seemed to give gold, silver and bronze to armchair warriors(see WP:SIGN). That really is a Boy's Toys area. I have to say that I gave up on Danny's contests after seeing that soda-can stoves were more valued than major African poets.
