I've just replaced these broken links with links to the bug report and
feature request pages on www.wikipedia.com.

Same without specifying the title. Somebody put this at the top of the
file:

<HTML><HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=\"0; URL=http://wikipedia.com">
</HEAD><BODY>You are being redirected to wikipedia.com</BODY></HTML>

<? ... the PHP code for the wiki....

(The backslash is probably breaking it such that instead of refreshing
to the main wikipedia site, it refreshes to itself!) I'm guessing
somebody was Magnus, as the file is marked as owned by "magnus_m". I
don't have write access to the file or the directory, so I can't fix it.
