I was able to bribe a friend of mine (CC'd!) into looking into this up
a bit with promises of beer. He added a setting to stop MediaWiki
writing to Crowd, which should probably sidestep around most of these
issues. The plugin is in SVN, btw.

Tracking of that addition can be found at:

Note that if the MediaWiki PHP install has register_globals enabled
(it shouldn't!) then we will also want to keep an eye on
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/105347.

Thanks, Reedy!
