Thanks. I have a problem with the whole BadContent concept though. The
exclusion patterns I added locally involve home, auto and life insurance.
I'm pretty confident they are not appropropriate terms for a Jython or
Python wiki. I am much less sure that they belong in a global BadContent
page. What happens if someone has a Moin wiki which deals with insurance?
Many of their page edits would likely start breaking.

Will give it a try.

We use textchas on the Python wiki (maybe we installed something from the
MacroMarket, I don't recall). I guess we should be able to enable them for
the Jython wiki as well. As for upgrading, I suspect all the volunteers are
just too busy to worry about it. Can't be bleeding edge (or even leading
edge) on everything. That said, if there is a member of the Moin community
who is interested in helping to maintain the Python & Jython wiki
installation, feel free to drop a note to pydotorg-...@python.org.
