The support for redirect templates seems to be broken in MediaWiki 1.4. It seems to work in previews and diffs [1] but not on the actual redirect pages [2] and the categories are empty, containing only the templates themselves, not the redirect pages using them (e.g. follow the Category:Redirects from plurals link in the diff). I noticed that there are no template messages and category links on the redirect pages when I first saw the new layout with large type and redirect.png just after upgrading to MediaWiki 1.4, which looked like a minor display issue, but now I see that the categories are empty, making the entire Category:Redirects hierarchy useless. I assume that was not intentional. Can the old redirect page layout be used until the problem is solved? Rafał Pocztarski 18:16, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
OK, I’ve read Wikipedia:Bug reports and found Bugzilla:927 bug report. Rafał Pocztarski 18:26, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Would anyone object if the examples were made color-blind friendly by prefixing them with "YES: <example>" and "NO: <example>"? I'm not even color blind and I still need to squint to distinguish between the green and very dark red used here. Ljleppan ( talk) 09:49, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
There's something weird going on between Wikipedia:Template index/Redirect pages and {{ R from ligature}}/{{ R to ligature}}. The former gives ß as a ligature that should be under {{ R from ASCII-only}} when it's used to substitute for SS, while it gives {{ R to ligature}} when a B is used to substitute for it, but the ligature template pages make no such distinction and seem to imply that they should be used any time an ß is involved. I'm left confused as to what redirects including the ß should cover – the template index seems to imply that the ligature template is for characters that look similar, which I don't think is accurate, but I don't know for certain. I would think some more clarification is needed, or an updating of the examples in some fashion; I'd do it myself, but I don't know what these templates' intended (and actual) use-cases are.
