MediaWiki talk:Tag-unusual redirect

Protected edit request on 28 June 2024
The tag description is incorrect; it is not an "unusual redirect" since the filter (Special:AbuseFilter/113) checks for incorrect/unexpected use of &#35;REDIRECT markup, which is no way "unusual" since the markup would not work that way. According to the help page at MediaWiki.org, when redirection is not valid, the previewed text looks like a numbered list item with the destination page in blue.

I believe a better description for this tag would be: "Unexpected &#35;REDIRECT markup," while the page should be renamed to "Tag-unexpected-redirect-markup" as well as the corresponding edit filter. Eyesnore talk&#128172; 15:08, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I've changed the tag description. There's no good way of renaming tags (the filter could be changed to produce a new tag, but there's automated way of retagging every edit with the old tag) so I think it's best not to change the technical name of the tag. Feel free to discuss further at WP:EFN. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:14, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
