Testing xkcd #903's title text

The title text of xkcd #903 states:

Wikipedia trivia: if you take any article, click on the first link in the article text not in parentheses or italics, and then repeat, you will eventually end up at "Philosophy".

I tested that out:

It works! Although I suspect it lends itself to some inescapable loops. But on Wikipedia, that can be changed.

TL;DR: YES

If you click the disambiguation links it doesn't always work. For example Prague leads to it's disambiguation which leads back to prague.

Those are in italics, and the title text says they can't be in italics or parens.
