Yes, and the test will fail if a site changes ?action=approvesites
to be ?action=approveurls instead.

At the moment I don't have a good general solution for this problem,
but I'm thinking that I should perhaps configure things so that
an unapproved (or invalid) target passed to MakeLink results in
$LinkUrl being an empty string.
