In categories, redirects are indicated by italics.
This blocks formatting of pages listed in categories. T31975
Italics should indicate titles of artistic works (etc) as detailed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Titles_of_works (etc)
Instead of using italics, redirects should be indicated by a suffix. If that suffix is a word, it needs to be a system message so it can be translated. It doesn't matter hugely what this is; (redirect) would work, as would (R) or even ↪. The target page could also be specified here as a bonus feature, if possible.
So for example, "President Obama" is a redirect to "Barack Obama" The page "President Obama" should be listed in categories as:
- [[President Obama]] (redirect)
Or maybe
- [[President Obama]] (redirect to [[Barack Obama]])
I'm not so bothered with how things are done in [[Special:AllPages]] as that's not really public-facing, but the same change might be made there, too.
Assigning high priority because T31975 is high priority due to the huge number of pages it affects.
