WPCleaner does not recognise redirects to Template:Reflist (CW#3: Reference list missing)
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

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

  • Use {{References list}} template on page with references (example used: Asian/Pacific Gays and Friends)
  • Run full analysis on page (originally ran into bug using Project Check Wikipedia, but basically the same)

What happens?:
WPCleaner reports a CW#3 error, as shown in the screenshot below.

What should have happened instead?:
No error should've been reported, since {{References list}} is a redirect to {{Reflist}} and produces the same output. Changing the template would constitute a cosmetic edit, which is generally frowned upon at enwiki.

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

Hi @Liu1126 , sorry for not answering sooner, I wasn't notified.

WPCleaner doesn't recognize regular expressions in CW#3 configuration, so I added this template to the list
