Description MACARENO Richard 2014-09-24 12:51:42 UTC
Special:ListRedirects is mostly unused/useful, it can show only EVERY redirect (AutoWikiBrowser and a wikidump can do it!!). Well, of course some works can be done on it, but -s ...

Can this special page evolve to allow listing every redirect liked to pages from a given category and all its subcategorys (category choosen by end-user of course in a text-box, and action with a button).

The purpose is to make a list to look at the "recent changes" for redirects.

This part of every wiki is really obscure. Sometimes there are are abuses and a lot of redirects could be deleted. A lot of edits are done and should/would be checked.

Uneasy to make a watchlist for redirects right now.

I thought about this special page to allow this feature, but if there is another way it's welcome.

I also thought about a wiki-template that can be added to a category page that show a "link" wich list on a page all redirects linking to the pages from the catégory and subcategorys (but I think it's also like creating a special page)

Best regards
