The first link on the advanced search page is
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/query.cgi?help=1, which exists.

Okay, let's tackle it step by step, I'm on the page
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5588

Near its bottom it has "personal tools" and "links".
The second of the four links is "advanced search"
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/query.cgi?format=advanced

On that page directly below <h1>Advanced search</h1>
I see a link '"Give me help" with this form'. URL:
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/queryhelp.cgi

Result: "Not found"

The requested URL /queryhelp.cgi was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying
to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

The same link in the same location points to
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/query.cgi?help=1 when I view it.

There are only ten non-empty lines in the source from <body>
over <h1> until <a href="queryhelp.cgi">, the only chance
where you can get something different is right in the <body>:

onload="selectProduct(document.forms['queryform']);initHelp();"

I've no JavaScript, so I won't get whatever this onload does.
