Redirects to special pages doesn't display [[Mediawiki:redirect from]]
Open, LowPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • create a redirect to a special page, e.g. redirect [[SP:SP]] as a shortcut to [[Special:SpecialPages]].
  • click on the redirect

What happens?:

What should have happened instead?:

It should display [[Mediawiki:Redirectfrom]] below the page title, like other redirects.

Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

1.35 but presumably later as well.

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

Try it yourself.

@Bugreporter2: A good first task is a self-contained, non-controversial task with a clear approach. It should be well-described with pointers to help a completely new contributor. Given the current short task description I'm removing the good first task tag. Please add details what exactly has to happen where and how for a new contributor, and then add back the good first task project tag. Thanks a lot in advance!
