As far as usefulness is concerned, it is a barrier to entry for editors when
they want to become more advanced, and search for documentation on things like
#ifexist. 

Of course, if a mediawiki site were to be made that incorporates twitter tweets
somehow, it would be impossible to find anything, since hashtags are how
twitter organizes things.

In other words, mediawiki will likely not work well for anything that involves
twitter, which is excluding quite a lot of potential applications for mediawiki
due to a small bug in search.

Oh yeah, any programming language that has syntax using the format #something
will not work either. It's not hard to think of more examples of where this bug
can cripple someone's application of mediawiki.
