In Meta Wiki, I was presented this message:
The page "User:Purodha/Suggestions for Wikis hosting several
Dialects" (links, delete) has been moved to "User:Purodha/
Suggestions for Wikis hosting several Dialects." (links, delete,
revert).
Followeing the (delete) link, I was informet, that had insuffient
rights to delete the unneccessary redirect, and was sent to the
main page.
I believe, good software should not display links to non-actions or
present impossible choices. It schould rather show the label but
not make it a link (as often done elswehere in MediaWiki) or omit
the useless link.
I believe, this should be handled by a standard procedure for all
such cases. This would even allow a switch in [[Special:Prefences]]
of the type "Show links to actions that you have insufficient
rights for: o No o As text only o Always as a link"
