Summary: A page redirected to, but with no links to the
redirecting page, is not considered orphaned
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: Redirects
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Steps to reproduce:
Create a page A
Ensure there is no link to page A in any other page. So A is an orphaned page.
Move A to B.
Go to Special Pages / Orphaned Pages
Observed: Neither the old page A nor the new page B is listed.
Expected: I would expect page B to be listed as an orphaned page. I would
accept page A to be listed instead.
But it is clearly inconsistent that neither of them is listed. If you postulate
that B is not orphaned because A exists and redirects to B, then A is a page
that exists. But then A should be listed as an orphaned page since there's no
page linking to A.
If you consider that A is not an existing page linking to B, then B should be
listed as orphaned because there's no page (other than the redirect) linking to
B.
