  • Discussion happening here
  • Further notes **

On Special:RecentChanges, a link to User talk:SHB2000 comes up as a redlink even though it's a page that has more than 1000 revisions.
Moving the page to another page without a redirect and then moving it back has failed, and so has deleting it and then restoring the page

Hi @SHB2000, thanks for taking the time to report this. For future reference, please provide steps to reproduce, including links.
This seems to be about https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges . Cannot reproduce; the link is not red here. This needs clearer steps to reproduce.

Apologies for not filling that out. I'm not entirely sure how to.

@Aklapper I've improved the description provided by @SHB2000, check if you can see the issue now.

Aklapper renamed this task from A link to User talk:SHB2000 comes up as a redlink on Special:RecentChanges on the English Wikivoyage to User_talk:SHB2000 comes up as redlink on Special:RecentChanges on English Wikivoyage.Nov 24 2021, 3:09 PM
Aklapper changed the task status from Stalled to Open.

This no longer seems to be an issue with just User_talk:SHB2000, it seems it's the same issue with User:Tundraski‎ too.

The very strange thing that I would highlight in this image, is that the same page (User:Tundraski) is "blue" in the first line, while "red" in the second one.

Is this still a problem? We recently investigated the also-2021 issue T294690 and found that it was no longer an issue.

I just tested it and can't reproduce the error.

I think it was eventually resolved.

Please feel free to re-open if the issue surfaces again.
