    Redirect pages cannot be reported, thus they can't be deleted?

    A redirect created when a page has been moved cannot be reported. Thus, it seems like it can't be deleted. Take, for instance:
    http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/%22Ki...22?redirect=no
    Try to report that page and you'll get an error. If you type the page name in regularly:
    http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/%22Kinship:_Drifters%22
    Then you'll be redirected to where the page is now. The only way to see the redirect page (since the Lorebook doesn't include redirect messages) is to type the page name in directly with the redirect=no parameter.

    Note: This is a huge potential flaw in the Lorebook -- with no warning that they've been redirected, people might take what they see as the "real" page. A person could redirect an important page like [[Category:Kinships]] to [[User:Someguy/porno]] which could have who knows what sort of junk on it. People that then went to [[Category:Kinships]] wouldn't know that they'd been redirected and if the offending page had just been created, there would be no revision history. It would then be very difficult for a person who didn't know how to navigate a wiki to find the original page to fix the redirect and the original page (containing the offenders username, etc.) couldn't even be reported if it was found.
    As a level 1 burglar, Bilbo got a pony when he joined the Smaug The Dragon raid. Then he asked for leadership, looted the chest, assigned himself the 1st age Arkenstone and mailed it to an alt (Bilbo's a VIP so can mail from anywhere). They did some PvMP and an Epic Battle, then he apologized and gave the Arkenstone back because it wasn't BoA. He kept the pony.

    Ah... It appears the bit that informs the viewer that they came from a redirect page didn't make it into the new skin. We'll make sure this makes a return as soon as possible.
