What do you mean by protection? I don't think there's a ever a reason to allow this behavior. (The fact that making a redirect needs a proper input form is a separate issue.) There should be a warning at least here, though I don't see any problem with an outright ban. In general, I'm in favor of MediaWiki being more descriptive about things that don't work. This is already somewhat implemented for things such as broken references (they're categorized and have a visible error message), but there should be a larger set of changes made to make MediaWiki less obscure and confusing. This is part of that. Perhaps linking this bug to a bug about implementing a proper UI for creating a redirect makes sense. I think any redirect-making input form would catch this type of error, but it makes less sense in the current giant textarea mode. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
