Description:
Hallo!

Special:Recentchangeslinked is a very powerfull special page.

However if [[foo]] is a redirect to [[Metasyntactic_variable]] it seems that
[[Special:Recentchangeslinked/foo]] contains only changes related to
[[Metasyntactic variable]].

Please compare with [[Special:Recentchangeslinked/Metasyntactic_variable]].

*request*
[[Special:Recentchangeslinked/foo]] should include the link
[[Special:Recentchangeslinked/Metasyntactic_variable]] somewhere.

I suggest to have this link in the same place where "(Redirected from [[Foo]])"
is located at [[Metasyntactic_variable]].

The text could be somthink like
"({{MediaWiki:Recentchangeslinked}} {{MediaWiki:For}}
[[Special:Recentchangeslinked/Metasyntactic_variable|Metasyntactic_variable]])"

*why this request*
People can use such links as bookmarks. It can take some time to realise that
the "watched" page is a redirect.

best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
