Hmm... the response seems to suggest "forbidden access" which is strange
because editing and saving the page with 3 or fewer links (or none) works.

?invalid page namep=403.Shtml, pagename=403.shtml

I also just tried linking to many internal (non-existent) page
[[test.test1]] [[test.test2]] etc and the page saved fine. Haven't tried
linking to existing internal pages, but seems it wouldn't matter.
