That's correct. We decided to resolve redirects in almost all
datasets. More precisely, we first extract all redirect pages, then
resolve transitive redirects and remove redirect cycles, and finally
replace all link targets by their transitive redirects where
necessary. If someone still needs the original data, it is available
in files named ..._unredirected_..., e.g.
page_links_unredirected_en.nt.bz2 [1].

Thanks for the feedback! We also figured that for most applications,
it makes more sense to resolve redirects, even if there is a small
percentage of 'false positives' where a redirect doesn't actually
resolve a synonym but points to a slightly different subject.
