Change Details

**Feature summary** `$wgDisableHardRedirects` prevents two types of redirects from being "hard redirects," and turns them into "soft redirects," which require another click: # Interwiki redirects to other wikis # Redirects to special pages These are two different things. It's quite possible a wiki wishes to allow one, but not the other. Shortcuts to special pages such as [[SP:RC]] can be very useful. I don't really understand why they're not allowed. {T326054} would be straightforward to fix. I can undersand why interwiki redirects would be stopped. This is quite an old setting (from 2006), IMIIC, and has worked for 20 years, but might need a rethink. **Proposal** This configuration should be split into two different configurations, or at least one of them split off into something like: - `$wgDisableHardRedirectsToSpecialPages` - `$wgDisableHardInterWikiRedirects` Needs discussion.

Redirects to certain problematic pages like [[Special:LogOut]] are prohibited, regardless. {T326054} would be straightforward to fix. I can understand why interwiki redirects would be stopped. Someone viewing an independent 3rd party wiki doesn't expect to be whisked off to Wikipedia after clicking a blue link.
