Good night, Jean!  Which mess are you pray-tell referring to, and whose 
work has been ruined?

If you're talking about this: 
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/Manual ..., while it is 
ugly, nobody's work has been ruined, nobody's content has been lost.  
This has been caused by a mediawiki upgrade that we could not use our 
little nested templates hack on.

I've been out of the loop for a couple days because of moving, but if a 
solution isn't found by Monday, or at least the promise of a solution, 
I'll be issuing a statement declaring that non-extension mediawiki hacks 
illegal, and we will find another way to do what was trying to be done 
there.  Most major wikis get along without that hack just fine, and we 
can do the same.

Timmeh has had some success with template nesting.  Take a look at how 
he did it here: http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Timmeh

If there's something else, some section that has been destroyed by a 
malicious user, please point out a root URL so that I can take a look.
