Armed with enough bots (i.e. different logins/IPs), it could be possible to
really do a DoS since server time is wasted in the infinite loop and reverting
may not be able to cope with the bots. The DB could be made readonly and all
that, but still that's DoS as I understand. Hence making severity blocker and
marking as blocking bug 202 (in accordance with [[en:Wikipedia:Be bold]] :).

BTW shouldn't there be some way to report security-related bugs "private"ly or
some such thing?

Copied from bug 817 comment 1:

[[test:WikiHiero]] refers to [[test:Category:Ancient Egypt]] which refers to
[[test:Category:Abcd%C8]] which refers to [[test:Category:Ancient Egypt]] which
triggers bug 875 which is why [[test:WikiHiero]] is inaccessible.

[[test:Template testing]] transcludes [[test:WikiHiero]] using {{:WikiHiero}}
which is why that page is also inaccessible.

Hey this seems to have been resolved (try the URL for this bug)! Why's no one
making any noise about this?

I believe Tim Starling fixed it. Need to be checked.

I can't reproduce this either, having tried 1.3.10, 1.4beta6+ and HEAD on a
local wiki, as test.wikipedia.org isn't available. Marking as fixed based also
on comments 5 & 6 above.
