'''Issue Description'''

The word Wikipedia should be changed to the wiki. Something like {{SITENAME}} would be better but it cannot be used in the comment, so I think just the wiki.

Oh I see. In the default case this links to MediaWiki.org so SITENAME would resolve to MediaWiki. That's.. unfortunate.
