Next time you're going to delete an entire half of a Wiki page that
someone clearly cares about and maintains (see the edit history),
please contact that someone first so we can discuss what should be
done about the information that doesn't belong there.

I agree that the Wiki isn't the best place for that code, and I was
planning on getting around to fixing it. In the meantime, I had linked
to that code in Bug 29294 and now it's not there for users to find.
There is no emergency here that could not have been better resolved
by a discussion over email.

The fact that you've been specifically called out in two threads in
one weekend might be a hint that it is _your_ behavior that is
inappropriate.
