Description

https://abj.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages says

Redirecting special pages

• External links search

However nowadays it no longer redirects,

$ HEAD -SU https://abj.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:LinkSearch
HEAD https://abj.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:LinkSearch
User-Agent: lwp-request/6.43 libwww-perl/6.43

200 OK

Thus it is placed in the wrong section there on Special:SpecialPages.

LinkSearch was originally in redirects because of T16865: Search and Linksearch special pages belong in one group - to match Special:Search (done in r39138 by @siebrand, when it was still an extension).

In 505dbb331e1, Special:Search was moved into pages, because having it in redirects didn't make sense to @siebrand (It doesn't make sense to me either).

I agree with both of those rationales, and think that we should be moving Special:LinkSearch into pages to match Special:Search.

This should be resolved with next train. Is it worth backporting?
