It matters when a page is created in order to acknowledge the concept. Then while the article is not yet written, the page redirects to related concept. Imagine, if you will, somebody sending the related article to a friend who is busy and only looks at it some time later when meanwhile the redirecting page has received some proper content. The two friends might then happily discuss two very different concepts without being aware of it. > > If you want to send someone the URL of the target page instead of the > redirect, > you should navigate to the target page yourself first (which is easy enough to > do by clicking the "article" tab). As I said: computers are there to make life easier for us, not the other way around. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
