Broken redirects?

Go To

A lot of pages that redirect to ptitles seem to be broken; the ptitle redirects seem to have un-Wikiworded themselves. The one for Yotsuba To was until I fixed it just now, thinking it an isolated incident, but it seems to be popping up a lot. One such example: K On.

Did something go pop?

This is a known issue—the ptitles now need to be in curly brackets for the redirect to work as intended.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

I'm aware of that. But those very same redirects USED to work perfectly fine, so I'm wondering if something happened.

Actually I think something broke redirects in general, as even a non-ptitle page Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha's redirect Nanoha doesn't seem to work either. It just shows up as "Click edit to start new page" even though view source shows the redirect markup.

A simple null edit fixed the Nanoha redirect, and should do the same for any other such problems.
