in reply to TimToady Approved renaming Perl6 to Raku

Just wondering, where's that "ancient wisdom" from? Is that a Biblical quote? (I don't know the Bible that well, but clearly Larry does.)

Answering my own question and with due thanks to Wikipedia, yes it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Wine_into_Old_Wineskins (Side note: Anon commenters are not allowed to link to Wikipedia, really? And the only indication of this is a "permission denied. Tough beans" message, really?) 2019-10-20 Athanasius linkified the link.	[reply]

Anon commenters are not allowed to link to Wikipedia, really? No not really. Check out 43037 and use the wikipedia:// (or wp://) shortcut: New_Wine_into_Old_Wineskins	[reply]

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. May I suggest that a) the "permission denied" error message is improved to say what exactly the problem is (it doesn't even tell you you're linking to a "forbidden" site, much less which one), that b) Wikipedia is added to the whitelist (shortcuts nonwithstanding, I see no issue with linking to Wikipedia using regular `a` tags), and c) that the bullet points below the "comment on" form, when listing approved HTML tags, caution that `a` is restricted in its use?
