It probably would be best to omit this Reviewed-by: since it was not provided explicitly. More importantly, I'm neither a user of nor familiar with MediaWiki or its API, so a Reviewed-by: from me has little or no value. Probably best would be for someone such as Matthieu to give his Reviewed-by: if he so desires.
