The [cache:...] construct is used as a shortcut to Google's cache. This can be useful, but since the link is not displayed as an external link, the user can be mislead into clicking harmful links if he/she does not check the URL in the browser's status bar. Even worse, [cache:...] can be combined with #REDIRECT and lead the user to virtually any page, with the URL appearing totally harmless. The attached URL illustrates this. Also, putting things like #REDIRECT [cache:doom3.zoy.org] in a page can also be used to abuse Javascript and crash browsers. It can probably be used for phishing. Proposed fix: remove 'Cache' from maintenance/interwiki.sql .
Nothing wrong with it as in interwiki; the problem is that interwiki redirects aren't currently handled appropriately. They're not restricted to local wikis, and have other problems.
Changing all WONTFIX high priority bugs to lowest priority (no mail should be generated since I turned it off for this.)
