If you actually type the full name of a page--e.g., "Destiny of the Daleks"--you do go right to the correct page, not to the wrong one. It's only when you do a "search" instead of a "go" (or whatever the distinction is). --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 02:51, May 7, 2010 (UTC) | If you actually type the full name of a page--e.g., "Destiny of the Daleks"--you do go right to the correct page, not to the wrong one.

::Calling this serious is overstatement. It is I grant you reproducable in this one case, but doesn't happen when you search for "ark space", "delta bannermen" or various other truncated ep names. I have occasionally seen this in the past, but it has usually been solved by actually creating the forum page. What is a little weird here is that it is linking to the forum talk namespace, rather than the forum namespace. I don't know why it is doing this but is not a widespread error. Possibly removing the redlink above will sort things out. Will look into this further but am not overly concerned.

:::You're right, it doesn't seem as serious as I first thought. At first, it happened to me 5 out of 8 times that I tried searching for 4 different articles from within the forum by copying and pasting slightly-misnamed versions of them out of forum posts. When I tried to repro it, it happened repeatedly with the last one I remembered having failed, but didn't happen with the last one that I remembered having worked. So, I assumed either it happened on 3/4ths of the articles, or it happened on all of them except that some cache effect was saving some of them, or something like that. | |||
:::But it looks like I was just very unlucky that day, and it's just a few articles that are affected. --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 18:41, May 7, 2010 (UTC) | |||
