despens added a comment. Apparently, `normalizePageName` in `MediaWikiSite` doesn't follow redirects. `MediaWikiSite` writes this error log:
2015-03-03 23:42:47 catalog wiki: call to <//catalog.rhizome.org/api.php?action=query&prop=info&redirects=1&converttitles=1&format=json&titles=Delocator.net> returned bad json: <html> <head> <title>Security redirect</title> </head> <body> <h1>Security redirect</h1> <p> We can't serve non-HTML content from the URL you have requested, because Internet Explorer would interpret it as an incorrect and potentially dangerous content type.</p> <p>Instead, please use <a href="https://catalog.rhizome.org/api.php?action=query&prop=info&redirects=1&converttitles=1&format=json&titles=Delocator.net&*";>this URL</a>, which is the same as the URL you have requested, except that "&*" is appended. This prevents Internet Explorer from seeing a bogus file extension. </p> </body> </html> When appending `&:*` to the original API request in `includes/site/MediaWikiSite.php:136`, like this: $url = wfAppendQuery( $this->getFileUrl( 'api.php' ), $args ). '&*'; the request works and `normalizePageName` returns a valid page name.
