Description

AFAICS http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/CookBookThreadlocalsAndUser was locked after its last edit, without precising a reason in the edit log. That last edit removed most of the text.
The removed text documents a technique that I think is legitimate in some situations (such as webforms), and that is also used in Django to store the current locale (e.g. in utils/translations/trans_real.py) :)

The page was trimmed because the "solution" it presented has a large number of issues which make it a terrible approach to the problem. The page was locked because a large number of people apparently would prefer an immediate copy-and-paste wrong solution to a proper solution which involves a bit more study, time and effort.

Would you like to elaborate some more about that on the wiki page, and explain in what context it's ok to use the thread-locals approach (such as in Django i18n)?
Education is good.
