The only leak I can think of is:

Step 1. I accidentally paste confidential information into the go box
(you've never done this?)

Step 2. I end up at non-existent article [[random confidential information]]

Step 3. I browse back to the article about me.

Probably best resolved resolved by not reporting infrequent referrers.
(Filtering by existing articles is computationally expensive)
