The VE's Page Settings dialog redirect options work badly for category destinations. For example, if you choose 'Category:Article stubs' as your destination, it inserts this: #REDIRECT [[Category:Article stubs]] While this does redirect the page, it also places that page in the "Article stubs" category. It *should* put this on the page: #REDIRECT [[:Category:Article stubs]] Note the additional ":" - this prevents the category being interpreted wrongly. https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=VisualEditor:Redirecttest&action=history -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: minor **OS**: Mac OS X 10.9 **Platform**: Macintosh

Pages with a <link rel="mw:PageProp/redirect" href="./Category:Foo"> but without a <link rel="mw:WikiLink/Category" href="./Category:Foo"> should be serialised to [[:Category:Foo]] per the spec, but instead are becoming [[Category:Foo]] which (a) is wrong and (b) doesn't round-trip. ---- //Original VE complaint:// The VE's Page Settings dialog redirect options work badly for category destinations.
