So the first thing I did when I saw a redirect loop was try to open the
site in w3m -- I don't have persistent cookies there, and there are no
browser plugins which might be forcing https.  :)  Also no scripting.
It still ends up redirecting.

Running `curl -v` shows:
  http://zshwiki.org --301--> http://zshwiki.org/home/
  http://zshwiki.org/home/ --301--> https://zshwiki.org/
  https://zshwiki.org/ --301--> http://zshwiki.org/home/

I can only get an error by trying <https://zshwiki.org/home/> directly.

So yeah, I'm leaving that commented-out in the zsh site, pending
evidence that the wiki still exists.  I've no idea if it's been up since
<https://www.reddit.com/r/zsh/comments/9catxz/zshwikiorg_down/> two
years ago, at which point it had apparently been down for "at least a
month".
