--- Comment #12 from Jon <[email protected]> --- Firstly I dispute the 'high/major' importance of this bug since the history is still there. The last edit was a redirect and it seems logical at least to me how you find the full history. What would you expect to see in this situation? Maybe an editor wants to see who set up the redirect and when? If we link to the full edit history of the content of the article this useful information gets lost. On a page with a large edit history e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barack_Obama&action=history you still have to click on "older 50" to view the entire contribution history. The person who setup the redirect is a contributor and surely under cc by sa should be credited as well?? Luis could you clarify what exactly is required to adhere to licensing - I was under the impression it was just a link to a page which allows you to view all the contributors to some content. Specifically: 1) Would linking to the last diff with history links back and forth adhere to the license? 2) Would a list of all users that contributed to the page be sufficient? (or would it need to also link to their edit) 3) If http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitigating_factors&action=history linked to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitigating_factor&action=history would this be acceptable? Off topic but relating to redirects: It still seems extremely strange to me that you'd have near identical content on 2 different urls. I understand the importance of redirects as I've been confused by this in the past (even the 'redirected from X' link is sometimes hard to spot and has led to much confusing). I'd personally prefer it to just link to the article (See [[Mitigating factor]]) - it seems really strange that you'd generate exactly the same page with a one line difference. In this particular case a 302 would make sense as the difference between titles is so minimal. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
