The highlight word on the varius articoles on mediaWiki was replace

For look this on google see here:

Is this an 0days mass exploit??

Bye

It looks like strings starting with NaodW29 are being used internally by the wiki engine as part of it's normal business. Several posts from Nov/Dec 2005 suggest that certain changes may have caused the wiki engine to expose these internal strings. It appears, at least on the surface, to be a simple bug.
