Description

Transcluding a non-existing redirect does not yield a clear error message:

transcluding a page P with contents #REDIRECT[[non-existing-page]] will give a link to P,
transcluding a page P with contents #REDIRECT[[P]] will return an empty result,
~~transcluding a page P with contents #REDIRECT[[P2]], where P2 is again a redirect, will return an empty result.~~ (seems resolved, although there is no regression test -- see T344449)

Version: master
Severity: enhancement
