When editing a redirect page, edits are ignored if text is added after the #REDIRECT line. This is quite bad for people that want to place a deletion request on a redirect page. The edit is ignored completely, i.e. it does not change the article and it does not show up in the history. This is very confusing and feels broken. Adding the text before the #REDIRECT line works however, in the sense that the page is then no longer a redirect, and the edit is saved normally. The same should be true if thext is entered after the redirect line. The code that checks if an article is a redirect should first check if the article has only one non-empty line, else it's not a redirect. That way, edits would no longer be ignored and the behavior would be less confusing to the user.
Hallo! This should be fixed some time ago. See: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:Gangleri/tests/extensions/LINKS/&action=history (this URL is pasted if it gets rendered by bugzilla) Regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
Sorry Daniel but I do not understand all the requirements here: The edit *is* shown in history. Diff is posible to some extent. A limitation is mentioned at Bug 4873: Next and previous revision links hidden on old-revision view of redirect text Is your requirement / bug report related to bug 4873? Please see also bug 927 comment 13 Bug 927: Text in the same line as #redirect not rendered, except for category tags best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
