Which is interesting. So perhaps this always happened, and recently a lot more
pages are being refreshlinkupdate-d (due to Wikidata maybe?), which is
triggering an increase into more noticable levels.

Guess I should go test cite locally with runJobs.php to see if my pet theory
about cite-being-broken-when-parsing-is-run-via-a-job is right...
