Tech:"Broken" shared:/special: redirects
From Wikitravel Shared
[edit] What happens
en:Special:BrokenRedirects is listing some (currently 7 10) shared:/special: redirects - I mentioned it yesterday at en:Wikitravel:Travellers' pub#"Broken" shared:/special: redirects but nobody has chimed in with any suggestions, so I'm guessing it needs to be reported here as a bug. ~ 203.147.0.48 13:50, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
And en:Special:DoubleRedirects is now showing a similar issue. ~ 202.71.45.37 07:55, 14 October 2007 (EDT)
In each case, a redirect page is listed, indicating that there's a problem with the redirect; however, in each case, the redirect points straight to a valid :shared or :special page and works fine.
[edit] When it happens
All the time. See en:Special:BrokenRedirects and en:Special:DoubleRedirects to check if it's still happening.
[edit] What should happen
These specialpages should ignore soft redirects (redirects to "off-site" pages (off-site, as in "on a different Wikitravel language version"), as soft redirects are neither broken nor doubled. --Peter Talk 02:58, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
