Emacs Wiki deliberately has an HTML page as the entry point for each Lisp file.
That HTML page shows the Lisp code (with coloring no less), and it has a
Download link for those who might want to download it. All of that is for user
convenience (e.g. preview before perhaps download).
I happen to agree with that design, but you need not agree and are welcome to
find it annoying. I'd argue that the annoyance really comes from your (Emacs)
browser, but you need not agree with that either.
