Bug ID: 71231
Summary: Evolution for Special:ListRedirects : Special page
listing redirect linking to a category of page
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Special pages

Special:ListRedirects is mostly unused/useful, it can show only EVERY redirect
(AutoWikiBrowser and a wikidump can do it!!). Well, of course some works can be
done on it, but -s ...
Can this special page evolve to allow listing every redirect liked to pages
from a given category and all its subcategorys (category choosen by end-user of
course in a text-box, and action with a button).
The purpose is to make a list to look at the "recent changes" for redirects.
This part of every wiki is really obscure. Sometimes there are are abuses and a
lot of redirects could be deleted. A lot of edits are done and should/would be
checked.
Uneasy to make a watchlist for redirects right now.
I thought about this special page to allow this feature, but if there is
another way it's welcome.
I also thought about a wiki-template that can be added to a category page that
show a "link" wich list on a page all redirects linking to the pages from the
catégory and subcategorys (but I think it's also like creating a special page)
Best regards
