That link leads to an "article" on Meta Wiki (when it should lead you to
one on Wikipedia). You need, instead of [[Article]], use
[[w:Article|Article]] to force the redirect to Wikipedia. :)
It's w: for Wikipedia, s: for Wikisource, c: for Commons, wikt: for
Wiktionary, etc. Country codes can be used as well/instead ([[:ko:s:Foo]]
for the Korean Wikisource, [[:de:Bar]] for the German Wikipedia, etc). You
need that initial colon to prevent the VisualEditor treating the link as an
interwiki thing... that's a whole other story though ;)
Hopefully that makes sense :)

Excellent point, Joe.
Question: I went to the links posted on the meta wiki as suggestions for
tweets for articles to be improved, but the links take you to a page asking
you to create said article. Would that be strange, asking people to improve
an article that doesn't exist yet? Or am I seeing this
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marie_Serneholt&action=edit&redlink=1>
wrong? I thought these tweets were to encourage people who were just
getting their feet wet editing.
