[Mediawiki-l] bot intrusion?

Hallo,

in the apache logfiles of my Wiki

        http://arktur.de/Wiki

I find sometimes such lines (shortened):


"GET /Wiki/index.php?title=http://example.tld/some-side.htm? HTTP/1.1" 301
"GET /Wiki/index.php?title=Http://example.tld/some-side.htm%3F HTTP/1.1" 200

They always differ in "[Hh]ttp" and in "htm(?|%3F)", the second line is  
always accepted from Mediawiki.

I had updated Mediawiki last week to 1.12.0 - no change.

Is that a behaviour which may be dangerous?

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
