I've just located the problem, at least in the functional sense:

http://memoryalpha.st-minutiae.com/en/index.php/Memory_Alpha: 
How_to_edit_an_article_so_long_that_you_can%27t_edit
http://memoryalpha.st-minutiae.com/en/index.php?title=Memory_Alpha: 
How_to_edit_an_article_so_long_that_you_can%27t_edit

The first URL, where the PHP variable is compressed out, does not work,  
while the traditional style with "title=" actually DOES work.   
Something's wrong with the URL parser, it appears.

Hope this helps!
