Sorry, I've reverted. There's a direct

- it's a direct citation of a source. Unless we're going to fix all
those links first, we shouldn't be redirecting to an article which
isn't the source!
Uh, we shouldn't be citing Wikipedia for census information :/
We're not. It's just that rather than have the links for the sources
on each and every page, we link to a single central page with the
details of the sources. ("census daya is sourced from X, place names
are taken from these two databases, etc.")
It's a kludge, and it's not how we'd do it now, but the fact is it's
there.
