           Summary: Different move messages for $wgFixDoubleRedirects
                    enables/disabled
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.16-svn
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: User interface
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


The default text for the message 'movepagetext' says "You can update redirects
that point to the original title automatically." This is not true on a default
MediaWiki installation, as it requires $wgFixDoubleRedirects to be enabled. On
the other hand, writing "You might or might not be able to automatically update
redirects, depending on site configuration" is not very helpful. There should
be different messages depending on whether automatic redirect fixing is enabled
- the best would be if 'movepagetext' would include another message as a
parameter, and which message to include would depend on $wgFixDoubleRedirects.

'movepage-moved' should probably also be split in a similar way; while it
doesn't include anything about double redirects by default, it seems that
larger wikis found it the best place to include such warnings (see
[[Movepage-moved]] and [[m:Movepage-moved]]).
