            Bug ID: 71708
           Summary: VisualEditor: redirect option works badly if pointing
                    to category pages
           Product: VisualEditor
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: Mac OS X 10.9
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Editing Tools

The VE's Page Settings dialog redirect options work badly for category
destinations.

For example, if you choose 'Category:Article stubs' as your destination, it
inserts this:

#REDIRECT [[Category:Article stubs]]

While this does redirect the page, it also places that page in the "Article
stubs" category.

It *should* put this on the page:

#REDIRECT [[:Category:Article stubs]]

Note the additional ":" - this prevents the category being interpreted wrongly.
