[edit] What happens
I notice that the IsIn Breadcrumb navigation does not display on redirected pages. See en:UTP for an example. Is there any way to overcome this, short of putting IsIn on all the redirected pages too? -- Huttite 17:31, 31 Dec 2005 (EST)
- The breadcrumb navigation goes in the same "slot" in the Mediawiki skin as the "Redirected from X" section. I'll take some time to make this work better. --Evan 20:45, 31 Dec 2005 (EST)
- Content of en:UTP is #REDIRECT [[:en:Pattaya#U-Tapao]] - but the #U-Tapao part doesn't work (unlike en:Pattaya#U-Tapao) - could that be fixed?
Example I ( Pashley) found is redirect to Shangrila from former name Zhongdian. On en:Yunnan page you have a link to "en:Shangrila (formerly Zhongdian)". Use that and you see bread crumbs. But on en:Kunming page, under bus routes, they list en:Zhongdian. I did not want to just change that to "Shangrila"; for all I know the signs in the bus station use the old name. So I made it redirect. Use that link and you get no crumbs.
Umea redirects to Umeå. If you follow the link for Umea, the first line of text after the title is "(Redirected from Umea)," but on Umeå, it's "Scandinavia : Sweden : Norrland : Umeå." Shouldn't this line also be present after following a redirect? Philbert2.71828 15:37, 7 June 2006 (EDT)
- You might argue that it "should" be there, but this is how it's designed to work. :) What's happening is that the "redirected" message takes over the on-screen slot that the breadcrumbs otherwise would use. - Todd VerBeek 18:01, 7 June 2006 (EDT)
- I'd like to revisit this. I can't believe there isn't an easy solution... like moving one of them down a "slot" or appending the redirect message to the crumbs. Has it been bug reported? OldPine 16:01, 29 July 2006 (EDT)
