Some problems that I would like to have fixed
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

My Miraheze wiki has several issues that I would like to see fixed. The wiki in question is here. https://csydes.miraheze.org/wiki/C.Syde%27s_Wiki

The first issue is redirects. The names of the redirects by default are being displaced with the names of the pages that the redirects point to. Here's an example of what I mean. On this page https://csydes.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights several page links have the titles displaced with the names of the pages that the links point to. And it is really annoying.

Many of the pages in this category have customised font styles and customised font colours. But the problem is that instead of affecting just the pages that they are added to https://csydes.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:Characters_(TPB) they affect all the links that point to them. The same issue also occurs with TOC. Changing the styles of section headers will cause the styling to appear on TOC.

Another issue is the number of pages on the wiki that have ignored display titles. One of the pages with ignored display titles is this page. https://csydes.miraheze.org/wiki/Find_the_White_Chocolate_Game Not sure what I'm expected to do to get all of these issues resolved.

I'm unsure why exactly the redirects in system messages are behaving the way they are.

What I can offer is that it is absolutely unnecessary to use a redirect in a system message. The easiest solution would be to use the page which is redirecting to (one example would be pointing to {{ns:project}}:Chat instead of the :Banned from chat redirect). Honestly, I would say to just use destination pages.

I'm trying to fix it but it isn't working.

Also it seems that The Sims Wiki isn't affected by the issue with redirect titles being replaced by the names of the pages the redirects point to, but C.Syde's Wiki is I'm starting to think that it must have something to do with one of the system messages that I edited. The question is, which system message?

I don't get what the problem is. But The Sims Wiki doesn't seem to be affected by it.

@C.Syde65 You can fix it at MediaWiki:Grouppage-[nameusergroup], for example: {{ns:project}}:Chat -> {{ns:project}}:About#Chat

The issue was fixed ages ago. But it wasn't closed since I forgot to mention that the issue was fixed. The culprit was DISPLAYTITLE: which was enabled through ManageWiki.

Glad you got it figured out. :)
