Please explain your edits
Hello, I on Help:Editing because I thought they were vandalism. You and gave w:WP:CODE as the reason. Sure, marked up source code can be useful for screen readers and similar, but too much is not helping either. I don't understand why it would be useful to have "text" source code – and what's this "moin" language I've never heard of? Please explain your edits a bit, because you have made other edits that are similar to these.

On a side note, while works still, both w:WP:CODE and mw:Extension:SyntaxHighlight GeSHi recommend the newer. &mdash;Maths314 (discuss • contribs) 08:37, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * In MediaWiki 1.26, mw:Extension:SyntaxHighlight GeSHi switched from Geshi to Pygments. Supported file formats are changed mostly. See https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/blob/master/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.lexers.php. The "moin" language is the popular MoinMoin wiki engine that is older than Mediawiki. -- Cedar101 (discuss • contribs) 13:03, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, but MoinMoin seems to have nothing to do with MediaWiki. Even if their syntax might be similar, it is semantically incorrect to mark it up as "moin" just because there is no Pygments mediawiki language. And still, too many s will do more harm than good, so please only add those that are absolutely necessary. &mdash;Maths314 (discuss • contribs) 13:37, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
