Bug ID: 51138
Summary: Special:DisambiguationPageLinks should indicate
redirects
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Disambiguator
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Special:DisambiguationPageLinks displays pages that link to a disambiguation
page since "They may need to link to a more appropriate page instead." But
many redirects to a disambiguation page can't go anywhere better. For example,
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:DisambiguationPageLinks lists the
redirect
DPL (edit) → Extension:DynamicPageList
If it indicated that the DPL page is a redirect then wikignomes wouldn't waste
time trying to fix it; it's as ambiguous as the disambiguation page and thus
needs to stay a redirect.
To indicate redirects, Special:DisambiguationPageLinks could use a different
arrow for redirects ↳ (0x21b3) which matches the one shown on redirect pages
(note RTL l10n issue). It could also/instead add the notation "(redirect
page)" to them, as Special:WhatLinksHere does.
