Great. Now I only need to tell the user to install Firefox, install Firebug and some other addon, open the page in Firefox... Oh, wait. This error does not occur in Firefox... Please, I can live with folding new lines (thou I don't believe those few bites are worth it) acutely compiling the code (or packing as some say) would be just evil for Mediawiki or Wikimedia to be more exact. Just remember that people all over the world are hacking into Mediawiki all the time. Making it harder won't help a bit.
