[Bug-wget] Wget follows "button" links

Hey there,

I've used the following:

wget --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) 
AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.139 Safari/537.36" 
--user=myuser --ask-password --no-check-certificate --recursive 
--page-requisites --adjust-extension --span-hosts --restrict-file-names=windows 
--domains wiki.com --no-parent wiki.com --no-clobber --convert-links --wait=0 
--quota=inf -P /home/W

To download a wiki. The problem is that this will follow "button" links, e.g 
the links that allow a user to put a page on a watchlist for further 
modifications. This has led to me watching hundreds of pages. Not only that, 
but apparently it also follows the links that lead to reverting changes made by 
others on a page.

Is there a way to avoid this behavior?

I'm using the following version:

> wget --version
GNU Wget 1.12 built on linux-gnu.

Thanks.
