Not that PSF guy who owns all the stuff out there and makes himself important by "taking responsibility" over what I do. If I had the information about external sources linking to this page, I'd considered contacting these source for update. I mean written the letter here earlier. =) 2. The change requested it to enable tracking of incoming sources for MoinMoin pages. It is exactly for the purpose you mentioned - to remove any fear, uncertainty and despair from people editing the wiki that their change may or may not break anything. Many wiki pages don't have any external references at all and should be reorganized to make somewhat logical structure from that pile of data.
