You could help by adding this to master18 and master19 wikis.

IIRC there is none. Checking against the user profiles was done for 2
reasons:
a) to find the wiki user name of the editor (iirc)
b) to protect against spammers and other unwanted contributors

If you can live without b), the check should be easy to remove in the
source. a) might be a bigger problem.

Cheers,
