Find and remove the following zero width unicode characters [\u200B\u200E\uFEFF] (Space, Left-To-Right Byte Order Mark, and No-Break-Space). Programming wise, they can screw up a lot of things, namely causing regex matches to fail where they should pass. They might be serving a purpose, but more often than not, it's visual wiki editor barf, and it usually winds up in or adjacent to links.

My last analysis indicated 184 matches across the wiki's main article space.
