[Wikia-l] HardRedirectsWithJSText Feature causing navigation bugs

[Daniel Friesen]

The HardRedirectsWithJSText that Wikia created is creating a lot of 
issue with navigation. A lot of times when I visit an article I am 
getting false redirected from lines.
Sometimes I get them when I'm not redirected at all. Most of the time, I 
open up a few pages, and I get a bogus redirected line saying that I was 
redirected from a completely different article.

Just now for a test I clicked on:
Chakra gates
//Eight gates
Twelve Gentlemen Guardian Ninja
12 Guard Ninjas of Fire

Chakra gates redirects to the real page //Eight gates
Twelve Gentlemen Guardian Ninja and 12 Guard Ninjas of Fire both 
redirect to Twelve Guardian Ninja

The results were:
Chakra gates (No redirect)
//Eight gates (Redirected from Twelve Gentlemen Guardian Ninja)
Twelve Gentlemen Guardian Ninja (No redirect)
12 Guard Ninjas of Fire (No redirect)

Clearly there is a serious issue with this extension if every last 
result I got there was completely bogus. 3 redirects said that they had 
no redirects. And the one page that wasn't a redirect said it was 
redirected from a page that points to a completely different page.
And on top of that of course, any user without JS won't even get links 
back to redirect pages. So quite simply, admins need to have JS turned 
on in order to fix bad redirects.


This extension seriously needs to be disabled till the tech team has 
actually made sure it works flawlessly.
