More likely, it's the equivalent of:
RedirectMatch ^/(index.html)?$ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
because otherwise, it'd be an infinite loop (Redirect matches a prefix).

  Ah, I see. The trailing slash in my example does indeed cause that problem (which I also discovered when I was trying to get this to work, and I simply redirected / to /dir/). In the real-life versions I set up tonight, this wasn't an issue.
