Description Oliver Keyes 2013-06-13 17:48:10 UTC 
The link inspector shows valid links as red in the autocomplete function. This is potentially very disruptive and confusing for editors, new and old alike, who pattern-match 'red' to 'this page does not exist'.
Comment 1 James Forrester 2013-06-13 19:56:25 UTC 
Yes, this is specifically that it's filtering out redirects in its suggestions (good) but then assuming that if it's not a non-redirect, it doesn't exist (bad). We'll get this fixed.
