Summary: Deleted Redirects still showing up.
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.14.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Redirects
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
When a Page got moved MediaWiki automatically creates a redirect to the new
target of the Page. Because usually Pages get moved for a reason the resulting
Redirect is deleted immideately. The Issue is that the Redirect is still
showing up after several hours and the Move Entry in RecentChanges aswell as in
the MoveLog shows blue links for both the target Page (which is correct) AND
the Original Location which got deleted already as the Deletion Entry is right
above the move Entry in RC. Now to normal users checking the move log or
RecentChanges it appears whoever moved the Page forgot to delete the redirect
and tags it for deletion using some Javascript Tool which automatically starts
editing, adds the code and saves the page to speed up the process. All because
the Link was blue and the Page seemed to exist when they watched the page.
Problem is that in fact the Page was well lets say semideleted. The tagging for
deletion shows up as New page on RecentChanges. I dont know who got the idea of
letting redirects still beeing shown after the page got deleted but it just
shouldn't be. If a Page got moved and the redirect deleted its for a reason!
