An example of something I wanted to do: #REDIRECT [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}]] This displays as if &redirect=no were included in the URL. No redirection happens. Bug #927 sounds similar to this by the title but by the description it seems to be a different bug.
A redirect must specify an actual title.

http://jadesukka.homelinux.org:8180/betawiki/Today%27s_featured_article provides a workaround for the the original request using {{Today's featured article/{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} Note: It is *safer* to use inclusions from the *template* namespace. The original request asked for an inclusion of a page from the *project* namespace where several restrictions would apply. Regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
in response to comment 0 > A redirect must specify an *actual title*. The original templates include variables. The examples below do *not*. http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=Template:R1link&action=edit [[Main Page]] http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=Template:R1&action=edit Main Page http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=R1link&action=edit #REDIRECT {{R1link}} http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=R1&action=edit #REDIRECT [[{{R1}}]] None of the last would generate a redirect. These redirects are quite theoretical but to some extend they are unchanged *actual title* as a distinction from the templates in comment 0 where variables are used. Anyhow changes in both cases would be triggered at another / other objects then the redirect page itself and "adjusting link tables" would have a similar level of complexity which could grow if nested templates would be used. Despite the fact that the requirement is quit intuitive it would be probably best to leave this request as "WONTFIX". Best regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

Is there any news about that bug ? (sorry for having created one other ...)
The official word since February 21, 2005 is that it's not going to be changed, and indicated by CLOSED WONTFIX. Argue with Brion about it on IRC if you want, but he's the lead developer and what he's said stays out of the code stays out of the code until he says otherwise.
Do we know why it's marked as CLOSED WONTFIX ? Looked from Brion on IRC, not there ... :(
(In reply to comment #11) Please look at Brion's comments on earlier duplicate bugs (e.g. Bug 4763 and Bug 4882)
