Description:

If you have a flagged page P ([[:de:David Lynch]]) and you change a link in it from A to B, beside Special:WhatLinksHere/B also Special:WhatLinksHere/A will still show page P in it. Special:WhatLinksHere/A seems to show a not moved ~flag!? If completely unflagging the page P, Special:WhatLinksHere/A is updated correctly!

Ref.: [[:de:Hilfe_Diskussion:Gesichtete_und_geprüfte_Versionen#.C3.84nderung_Wikilinks_bei_gesichteten_Artikeln]]

You have a page [[:de:Serge Lifar]] (in this case a redrect) and it has a sighted revision (currently, sighters do auto-sight on creation/change) and point it to [[:de:Sergej Lifar]] (with "j"). Then move [[:de:Sergej Lifar]] to [[:de:Sergei Michailowitsch Lifar]].

Despite fixing links, Special:Whatlinkshere/Sergei_Michailowitsch_Lifar now will still show the first page [[:de:Serge Lifar]] as a redirect, linking to the old destination. After un-sighting/un-flagging all marked revisions of [[:de:Serge Lifar]] (and [[:de:Sergej Lifar]], see #1) the list at Special:Whatlinkshere/Sergei_Michailowitsch_Lifar will be correct again!

On link change (manually or by page move), Special:Whatlinkshere does not get updated!

Logs for #2:

Sighting:
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial:Logbuch&page=Sergej+Lifar

Un-flagging:
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial:Logbuch&page=Sergei+Michailowitsch+Lifar
Note:
Un-marking has to be done on the article [[:de:Sergei Michailowitsch Lifar]] for clearing former article [[:de:Sergej Lifar]]'s "spooky" flags!
So, that has to be done retroactively, as it seems.

The links are the UNION of the stable and draft. Also, some of these things used jobqueue, so they can take time. I did make some internal link cleanup in r34376, as well, so some possible bugs are gone.

Anyway, it's getting silent on dewiki concerning bugs; that's a good sign :-)

This only works for users not being a sighter! [[:de:User:Video2005]] is fixing links as sighter, but Special:WhatLinksHere does not update on this users edits, still.

You can test this with [[:de:Disciple]]!
You cannot get [[:de:Spezial:Linkliste/Band]] to remove that article correct.
Not if sighter, not if ordinary user, not if IP.

Is no more. User:TheK made a change, for him it worked out.
Might there be some kind of lag the reason for this?

OK, I can repro this on my testwiki

Fixed in r34606
