Summary: Diffs of redirect pages should assume redirect=no
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Khety_II&diff=
266098037
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal

This URL had me confused for a while:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Khety_II&diff=266098037
* Title parameter is "Khety II"
* Title shown on the page is "Khety II"
* HTML title attribute is "Khety II"
* Both revisions in the diff are from the page "Khety II"
* Both "Revision as of" titles link to old versions of "Khety II"
* Both "edit" links next to the revision titles link to old versions of "Khety
II"
BUT
* "Next edit" and "Previous edit" links put "Ninth dynasty of Egypt" in the
title (though lead to other edits to Khety II)
* Article, discussion, edit, history, move and watch tabs all link to "Ninth
dynasty of Egypt"
* Diff says "8 intermediate revisions not shown" when there are no intermediate
revisions
It is clearly broken behaviour for "article", "discussion", etc. tabs to link
to a page other than that shown in the page title, and also broken behaviour
for them to link to a page that is not the page either of the revisions being
compared belongs to.
The unexpected intrusion of links to [[Ninth dynasty of Egypt]] here is
presumably because that's where the current version of [[Khety II]] redirects
to. Compare an identical URL with "redirect=no" appended:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Khety_II&diff=266098037&redirect=no
Now everything links to the right place.
So, diffs should behave as though "redirect=no" was supplied even if it wasn't.
