1052510 - You shouldn't be able to create a new page as a child of a redirect

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Wiki pages, defect)

Description

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

What did you do?
================
If you know the URL of a page that's a redirect, such as https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Project:MDN/Contributing/How_to, you can add go to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Project:MDN/Contributing/How_to/Blahblahblah (that is, a subpage URL of the redirect) and get a "new page" editing window.

What happened?
==============
This creates a new page in a part of the site that can't be navigated to with our landing page mechanism, and is in fact in a place where content is no longer meant to be.

What should have happened?
==========================
Attempting to do this should automatically update the URL of the page you're trying to create based on the parent's redirect.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
