--- Comment #2 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> ---
I was going to object on the basis it wasn't an official registered uri schema,
but apparently it is.

So I'm going to object on the basis of lack of support on IE7+. If these sorts
of urls don't work for random segments of the population, with probably a very
unclear error message, I think that's a bad thing. This argument of course is
pretty weak given how well gopher:// is supported these days.

(To clarify, are you just asking for wikimedia wikis, or mediawiki in general?
It should be noted that which urls mediawiki supports is configurable in
LocalSettings.php if you're a third party wiki).

So to summarize, I'm mildly opposed on the basis it feels odd and icky to me,
but I don't really have a coherent argument against, so if someone else wants
to do it, I won't object.
