Description Michael Hardy 2009-01-31 03:48:27 UTC
"Surgery obstructions" is a redirect page created when I moved that title to the singular.  But when I click on "what links here", I find the plural title with nothing to indicate that it is a redirect:

View (previous 50) (next 50) (20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500)

    * Surgery theory (links)
    * Categories of manifolds (links)
    * Farrell–Jones conjecture (links)
    * Surgery exact sequence (links)
    * Surgery obstructions (links)

To clarify, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Surgery_obstruction listed [[Surgery obstructions]] but failed to indicate it was a redirect. Editing [[Surgery obstructions]] seemed to prod it into knowing it was a redirect, so it works now. Presumably something isn't always being updated on page save that should be.

Same problem now with "weighted-average life" (the third one below is a redirect created when I moved the page): 

View (previous 50) (next 50) (20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500)

    * Mortgage-backed security (links)
    * Amortizing loan (links)
    * Weighted-Average Life (links)

...and now I just moved "heterogenous" to "heterogeneity".  A fairly large number of links exist to each of those two titles.  What happens now is that when I click on "what links here" at "heterogeneity", I _do_ see "heterogeneous" (the new redirect page) as one of the items, but (1) it fails to indicate that it's a redirect, and (2) it fails to indicate the items that link directly to that redirect; normally for a redirect that would be there.

Now it's happening with "weighted voting", which I moved from "weighted voting systems".

This bug is 2,5 years old. I tested it locally and it seems that the bug was fixed in the meantime. Closing as FIXED. Feel free to reopen if it happens with new moves again.
