I am trying to rename (move) a set of translated pages, on top of a redirect. It is reporting an error.
At https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MovePage/OTRS when I try to move it to VRT (which exists as a redirect with a single page-history entry, and is not marked for translation), I get the error message:
The translatable page cannot be moved to a new name because of the following error: OTRS The target translatable page "VRT" exists.
(screenshot below)

I have confirmed that "VRT" is not listed within https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PageTranslation
Outcome
Translatable pages can now be moved over redirects given that the redirect points to the page to be renamed.
