In r44919 I've gone ahead and reimplemented bug

Do links of type http://**.wikipedia.org/wiki/redlink to nonexistent
articles really happen that often? They have to be typed by hand, or
otherwise they will be action=edit&redlink=1, which redirects to a
404ing page only in English Wikipedia and some other wikis, not
everywhere.
