It's even worse. If someone comes to you saying "So what's this Heartbleed thing?", RTFM would be providing a link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartbleed but the default corporate practice is linking to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heartbleed&action=history and expecting the someone to read it all.
