The whole point is that we don't want it to happen in the first place. Look, I understand why it looks inefficient, and maybe even totally unnecessary in a place that calls itself a wiki, which is a site that anyone can edit and where you write first and get things checked later. But the definition of a language is a special layer that has extra sensitivity. Luckily, it's finite, and it's not needed so frequently that the inefficiency grinds everything to a halt.
