Does it hurt their caching if you browse Wikipedia when signed in?
I recall reading HackerNews used to have that problem, unsure if it still does.

Looking at the source of a Wikipedia page it has my username appearing 6 times so I guess it must reduce caching a bit. Though I guess they could cache the user info bits and the rest of the page and just splice them together.
