Run it past the devs so they don't want to kill anyone for trying this.

(AFD has been problematic in the past. The old VFD, which included
seven days' deletion discussions in one huge multi-megabyte HTML page,
was not only a major pain in the backside for the users, it caused
server performance problems all by itself. Leading to the present
situation where it's broken up by days.)

I wonder if it's possible to implement the Towers of Hanoi in template
code. Or Emacs. Or a wiki bot.
