Description lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2005-06-04 09:55:26 UTC
[[Special:Allpages]] is very usefull.

It should be possible to see what is a redirect an what is a "normal" page
directly at this level.

Best regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

Changing summary; italics may not be the best indicator.

Comment 3 lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2005-06-05 00:25:51 UTC
Thanks Brion for the suggestion. I was concerned also about alphabets as ar: gu:
hi: ko: etc.

1) An alternate way to mark the redirects could be to generate two links. The
main with &purge=no and beside it an arrow → for LTR and ← for RTL wiki's with
the link to the page where the redirect is pointing two.

2) Thinking further I recalled that [[Special:DoubleRedirects]] is normaly not
included in [[Special:Specialpages]] at many wiki's. It migth be an aditional
indication to handle them differently. Many people may have problems with
"blinking". Pointing to a problem would be the correct usage.

For this seccond suggestion both performance and efforts should be considered.

Best regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
Comment 4 lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2005-06-09 19:15:48 UTC
Halló!

As soon as there is an agreement about a suitable indication for redirects this
could be used also in other special pages as

[[Special:Contributions]], [[Special:Recentchanges]] and so son

addition to comment 4

Hallo!
Because redirects can be included in categories it might be a good idea to have
same "look and feel" also in the category namespace.

Benefits: Looking through a huge category users can distinguish between pages
not redirect pages and redirects.

last contains more then (limit - 500?) links
Comment 8 Niklas Laxström 2005-07-23 23:44:28 UTC
avar has committed to code to cvs that bla bla accomplishes this better than my
solution.
see http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-cvs/2005-July/010231.html
Marking this as fixed.
