[e-lang] Two other wiki issues: escaping; upgrade for API

[Kevin Reid]

Two technical problems with wiki.erights.org:

1. The Atom feed over-escapes URLs, which mangling makes it harder  
than it ought to be to get to a single-change page to revert spam:

...
<id>http://wiki.erights.org/w/index.php?title=Walnut/Ordinary_Programming/Quasi-Literals_and_Quasi-Parsers&amp;amp;curid=1524&amp;amp;diff=3006&amp;amp;oldid=3005 
</id>
...
<link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://wiki.erights.org/w/index.php?title=Walnut/Ordinary_Programming/Quasi-Literals_and_Quasi-Parsers&amp;amp;curid=1524&amp;amp;diff=3006&amp;amp;oldid=3005 
"/>
...


2. It would be useful to my use-the-wiki-specification-as-the- 
implementation-test-suite effort to have a way to download precisely  
every page which is in a given category; I have heard that a way to do  
this is to use the MediaWiki API,
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query_-_Lists#categorymembers_.2F_cm>
but

   2a. the API is not enabled;

   2b. the needed operation was added in MediaWiki version 1.11, which  
is newer than the version we're running.
