Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Select "中華民國大陆時期" (Simplified Chinese) from this text and use VisualEditor's Link feature.
- It will display "中華民國大陸時期" (Traditional Chinese) as the top result.
What happens?:
- The link will become [[中華民國大陸時期|中華民國大陆時期]] (i.e. Traditional Chinese page title | Simplified Chinese display text).
- Actually, there is a Simplified Chinese redirect, and the link can be simplified like: [[中華民國大陆時期]] (Simplified Chinese redirect).
- The current behavior will violate "Do not "fix" links to redirects that are not broken" guideline. This issue seems to be similar to T346920, although this case is not exact match.
What should have happened instead?:
If the link is already redirected to the target page (i.e.[[redirect]]), then it should not replace with [[target|redirect]].
