gollark: Hmm. So it looks like if I *do* accept the cryoapiocity and do database lookups when rendering (with some sort of batching mechanism, of course) then I can get some other nice things, like working aliases and non-awful case-insensitivity handling.
gollark: Although extra network round trips are bee.

gollark: It could, yes.
gollark: It strips all markdown except wikilinks, even.
