Rather, the problem is wikilinks to redirect pages > **that are marked as being for misspellings**. Thanks for clarifying your solutions are for misspelling redirects only. What I was focusing on was the underlying problem that the software does not have a good way to determine which redirects are marked as misspellings? And the concept of misspelling is IMO too complex to be built into the mediawiki layer. Surely not by looking for [[Template:R from misspelling]] or [[Category:Redirects from misspellings]] (as was done for disambiguation pages) __MISSPELLING__ ? That would be equally odd. Bug 13595 is an interesting idea that records per-redirect custom messages to be used in one context (above target article), but the same approach may be used to provide custom messages to other contexts (such as in VE). Another approach may be to add misspellings to Wikidata, preferably as a misspellings attribute on the target Qs (similar to labels), rather than have redirects as distinct items in Wikidata (as was done for dab pages). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
