Ok. I disagree, but well then :(

I made this one:
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/AdrianBuehlmann/test1

with a direct edit link.

But that seems moot if you say it is "without any benefit" anyway.

I just have to say I sometimes feel that the python code you
guys are writing is lot more difficult than this very simple wiki
syntax :-). But well then,...

Feel free to revert!
