The Skype browser toolbar (which tries to get installed whenever one installs Skype) has the annoying tendency of transforming whatever it guesses to be phone numbers into Skype call buttons. In the Hungarian localization (where groups of digits are delimited by space) that means pretty much all numbers which have the right length. There is a meta tag to switch off this behavior, which should be added to MediaWiki pages, at least for the localizations which are affected worst: <meta name="SKYPE_TOOLBAR" content="SKYPE_TOOLBAR_PARSER_COMPATIBLE" />

I'm not sure if we should adapt for one bugged software's needs.
(In reply to comment #3) > I'm not sure if we should adapt for one bugged software's needs. Of course we should - we do it all the time when the software is widespread enough. Just look at all the *Fixes.css files for the Monobook skin. Skype is more mainstream than, say, IE6.

Supported but support is broken. See my comment at bug 23564.
