Which lead one editor to add an HTML comment to the wiki code asking
future editors not to re-add the joke "IPC" section. Another editor
removed the comments with the edit summary "An article's source is not
a place for messages to other users".

Ia there any consensus/policy/guideline for this view? I wanted to add
it back as I have used such comments before but didn't feel like
getting into an edit war over invisible wikitext on an article I don't
regularly edit.
