That's OK -- in this case I'm fine if I can only look at the pre-patch
rendering. But those rendered pages, I would like to see.

Yes, this was my experience exactly -- from the filenames in the patch,
I tried to construct the URLs manually, and all except one redirected me
to the wiki.

So we're updating dead pages too, in this patch. Should we replace those
hunks with the removals of the dead pages instad? (I presume the dead
pages do not participate in the redirection actions.)

Thanks
