Different strategies for different actions:
  action=view: redirect to /wiki/Main Page
  action=delete: bad title
  action=(anything else): assume 'Main Page' without redirect

According to brions story, I would think the logical system would be to
   action=view: redirect to /wiki/Main Page
   action=(anything else): bad title

And, if I understand correctly, the fix should be changing all 'empty'
interlanguage links to 'main page' or their local equivalent.
