I'm using MediaWiki 1.16.2. (Yea, I know. But it's running so well, and every
time I've upgraded, it's cost me a couple days of mop-up.)
I have a number of pages in the format "Something, YYYY" or "YYYY something,"
such as "Budget, 2012" or "2012 harvest".
I have a number of #REDIRECT pages like "Current budget" that point to (for
example) "Budget, 2012". Presently, I manually update them at year-end.
I find that I cannot put {{CURRENTYEAR}} in the #REDIRECT link, such as:
#REDIRECT [[Budget, {{CURRENTYEAR}}]]
Why not? Such links work elsewhere!
When I do so, the redirect no longer works, and someone clicking on "Current
budget" (for example) ends up on the redirect page, rather than the page being
pointed to by the #REDIRECT.
Is this a bug I should report? Is there some work-around? Does it work properly
in newer versions? (Could be what I need to upgrade... :-)
Any other hints to get it to do what I want?
Thanks!
