Description

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

Create a new article
The article correctly shows on the NewPagesFeed as an Orphan
Create a redirect to the article
Do a null edit on the article, so that Page Triage redoes the metadata compiling

What happens?:
The article's orphan tag goes away, although https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Orphan#Criteria says that "The following pages do not count as incoming links: . . . Redirects and Soft redirects"

What should have happened instead?:
The article should continue to be tagged as an orphan

Change 975907 had a related patch set uploaded (by Sohom Datta; author: Sohom Datta):

Soda moved this task from Backlog to Code Review on the PageTriage board.

Bug still present. e.g https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragašević is only linked from a redirect, but it doesn't show as an orphan in NewPageFeed.

Has this patch been deployed ? There isn't a version tag on this task ? (Maybe we can check if this works on beta ?)

Yes, the other ticket is solved on prod. Also see https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/PageTriage/+/refs/heads/wmf/1.42.0-wmf.9. It happened to be the commit at which the 1.42.0-wmf.9 release branch was done.

I think the bot tags only the first ticket of any patch after it is merged

(Maybe we can check if this works on beta ?)

Tried. https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/T351618 is only linked by a redirect, but doesn't show as orphan in https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:NewPagesFeed. Btw, if you are testing, you might need to do a null edit on an article for PageTriage to redo the orphan (and other) calculations
