Before the current method of naming pages in the URL, there was another way called something like 'ptitles'. It was before my time and I only know what I came across in exploring the forums, but apparently it was rather cumbersome in some ways and replaced with the current it is what it is system.

Based on that, I suspect -don't know- that that is a holdover from those days.

If I remember correctly, Ptitles were depreciated but not removed since it took so long to clean them up and give them names with the current schema, so I suspect this is just a stray redirect artifact of the old system.

Is there anything I can/should do about it?

It was a phantom thing. I've recreated the ptitle and eliminated it through the Cut List.

Removed that one. For fixing such phantom ptitle redirects, edit the ptitle and cutlist it.

^ Will do that next time I see a ptitle, thanks.
