Considering the 14,000 Google results for that phrase [1], I suspect  
it's boilerplate from somewhere (perhaps the default pages in  
MediaWiki), and no one cared enough to change it.  Pretty much  
everything about this community is focused on solving problems only  
after they are made incredibly obvious, so it doesn't surprise me at  
all that something like this isn't yet fixed.
