While working on my app I came across an issue with extracts that does not work for certain pages. The extracts is always empty. For example (Newark International Airport):

I note the pageid you're specifying is a redirect page. If we use the target of the redirect instead, it seems to work fine:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=extracts&exchar...
You can even ask the API to bypass the redirect for you:
