With the creation of mozilla wiki, a database dump on meta-wiki
(http://meta.wikimedia.org) was imported (probably to get the mediawiki
documentation there). Most of this content is under the GNU Free Documentation
License which requires a license note and attribution etc. 

Rather than adding the relevant license info, these more than 2500 pages should
probably just be removed.  

Reproducible: Always

Yeah, I thought we just imported the help content, but apparently we got a lot
more than that.  Anyone want to volunteer to go through and whack them?

Most of that stuff is namespaced, and can easily be removed from the database
via a namespace ID.  I didn't realize there was that much cruft there -- when I
did the import for my own wiki, I ended up with far less stuff, though I used an
earlier dump of the meta-wiki.  They might have changed what was included in the
meta dump..

This was fixed a few weeks ago.
