I don't consider a single one of those to be an "alternative way" to get back to the redirect page you were just on. Tân An may be relatively reasonable to find the redirect you came from. But in reality the list of redirects for a page may look like these: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Tilde&hidelinks=1&hidetrans=1 (32) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Taa_language&hidelinks=1&hidetrans=1 (38) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/List_of_The_Simpsons_episodes&hidelinks=1&hidetrans=1 (39) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Cascading_Style_Sheets&hidelinks=1&hidetrans=1 (40) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/List_of_Doctor_Who_serials&hidelinks=1&hidetrans=1 (51) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/List_of_The_Angry_Beavers_episodes&hidelinks=1&hidetrans=1 (68) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/List_of_Yu-Gi-Oh!_characters&hidelinks=1&hidetrans=1 (312) Sifting through a list of over a dozen – and in the worst case, hundreds – of titles to find the one you came from is not an "alternative". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
