The Worl itself is in flux, with pages constantly changing. The front page of wiki will often vary day-to-day. That means the Deletionist’s process for extracting a Worl page from that Web page may differ. Even a minor Web change can cause a large Worl change.

However, I checked the page in question right after your comment, and for this page there is a different issue. The first (alas, flawed) version of the Deletionist that was initially released does transform this page a different way. But if I believe the current version, downloadable/bookmarkable from thedeletionist.com, should work to produce the a-word-rich that I read.

At least, right now. The underlying page might change later…
