WRP redirect page should redirect to Island File Formats but it just directs you to BIS_File_Formats. Can this be solved somehow? --T_D 17:33, 29 September 2008 (CEST)

The funny part -- which should be noted here -- is, that when you click the redirect directly, it works: Check this --raedor 17:36, 29 September 2008 (CEST)

Unfortunately, that's a limitation of the Wiki software, that it cannot automatically redirect to a page's sub-section. Clicked links, of course do have that capability, so we can either turn off the automatic redirection and just make it a regular clickable link, or leave it the way it is, hoping that the user will find the appropriate section himself. --Kronzky 17:49, 29 September 2008 (CEST)

Is this by design or a bug of the Wiki software? If it's a bug we maybe could report it to WikiMedia. But I guess they already know about it, so it is probably by design, isn't it? --T_D 17:58, 29 September 2008 (CEST)

They know about it. But it's probably not very high on their list of priorities... --Kronzky 22:13, 29 September 2008 (CEST)

Found the bug and it was fixed here --T_D 04:05, 30 September 2008 (CEST)

Hlavac is going to take a look. --raedor 10:58, 30 September 2008 (CEST)
