Did you post this coincidentally to Reinhardt filing bug 2434
(
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2434)? If so, it's
rather spooky.
Anyway, my investigations reveal that this residual link is actually
broken because it links to "", which is interpretted differently by
different browsers.
I've thought before that actually Special pages would benefit from
having an attached discussion like anything else, but as is they only
have one "action"/"view": themselves. Linking to Special:Specialpages
would be inconsistent; not linking at all might be awkward with the
template-ness of the skin; linking explicitly back to the same page
would be a reasonable compromise.
