As of 1.16, the user will at most be lead to a page with bug 17630.
He will no longer suffer the following scenario:

Allow us to share the pain of a different example. Visit
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Installing_your_own_SquirrelMail

at the bottom click on the juicy category which happens to be linked as so
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php?title=Category:SquirrelMail&action=edit

Permission error
You do not have permission to do that, for the following reason:
> Do what? All the user did was click on a link.
> That it was a boobytrapped action=edit link is not something the user should 
> have to know
The action you have requested is limited to users in the group user.
> "What action? Clicking?" the user wonders.
Retrieved from "http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Category:SquirrelMail";
>Which in fact is a much more polite link, despite bug 17630
And the worst of all, the categories don't even show at the bottom.
