Your mama may have had eyes in the back of her head, but our admin team just can't see everything at once. It takes a village to make sure TVTropes is running the way it should, so when it comes to spotting tech snafus, dreaming up a better digital mousetrap, or just diagnosing plain old asshattery, the quicker you let us know something's up, the quicker we can address it. See a bug? Point to it and we'll squash it. Have idea for a new feature? Post in the Tech Wishlist.
NOTE: Do not post duplicate bug queries, please check existing queries to see if your issue has already been reported and then comment on it.
I'd think redirect targets appearing in the subpage tab instead of the redirects yhemselves is odd and wrong anyway. But I've never seen it excpet for Sandbox.Redirect Bug Demonstration and ThisPageDoesNotExistButThereIsATab.Wingedcatgirl, which is super weird.

We're aware of two
instances (edit: three) (edit: four) where this has happened; since the redirect markup doesn't do redirecting if the target page doesn't exist, we imagine the issue never persists for very long unless the editor is unusually inattentive.
If a redirect exists to a page that does not exist, that page will appear in the tab list anyway (I've set up a demonstration of this on my troper page)
