UnusedRedirects Extension lists File and Template redirects still in use
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue:

The same problem can be observed with e.g. https://bg3.wiki/w/index.php?title=Template:C&redirect=no and other templates.

I think the problem applies to all files and templates. Perhaps everything outside the main namespace.

I haven't had the time yet to familiarize myself with the PHP code of the special page and understand how the query works. Later I might try to solve this myself.

Software version: Current REL1_39 branch both for core and the extension.

Event Timeline

This might be related to the link normalization stuff that's new in MW 1.39 (see T299416, T300222, etc.), not sure; I haven't tested UnusedRedirects myself in a while and the results on my local 1.39 test wiki seem sensible, but that's because I have only a handful of redirects. That said, having looked at the wiki linked in the initial description, I can definitely confirm that something's funky here. 🤔
