Hallo! The url lists many redirects from titles which render as whitespace. In order to access these pages users must look at the source code of the pages, copy relevant parts from the urls and build the right url manualy. A workaround would be to append an underscore as <a ...>foo_</a>. This would break actual behaviour but might be helpfull to fight vandalism. *notes* a) Any printable character could be used either as heading or trailing character to make those links visible. One should prefer characters with neutral directionality. b) "space" is not suitable because of Tidy; see http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Gangleri#Tidy c) If such a "feature" would be introduced all / most special pages are / would be affected. I am not shure if a Java utility installed via users /monobook.js would help. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
Could you please point out an example of a redirect that renders as whitespace? I've been through the whole list, without seeing such a specimen. I think it's an issue with your browser.
This bug is irrelevant; any such title is invalid and should be blocked by fixes to the title validation.
