Transcluded articles are not time-travelled #4

For example, when viewing Main Page, which is full of tranclusions.

Fixing this would probably require rendering wikitext ourselves, or using something like the Wayback Machine. Maybe we should just use the Wayback Machine for everything?

Added a Wayback Machine option in 7a0ea81440d58af2976869a057e2d69823fd20d5 , which has its own problems. It's slow, and only finds the "closest" version, which may be further in the future than the requested date.
