Redirect oddity problem

This talk page or section has a conflict or a question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

• I worked on previous pages such as Mario Kart 64#Drivers, and Mario Kart Super Circuit#Drivers.
• While editing, I noticed an oddity:
• I cannot put "{{color-link|Princess Peach|Peach|blue}}" because it will not function properly.
• The only way I can made this color-link work is having "{{color-link|Peach|blue}}".
• The user is supposed to go "Princess Peach" (article), not "Peach" (redirect).
• MarioWiki:Redirects states that "Linking to redirect pages is discouraged, so always try to link to the actual page name and use the piped-formatting to correct the name if necessary."
• Is this one case where it cannot be fixed?

Use : "{{color-link-piped|Princess Peach|blue|Peach}}"--

• Cool, tried it. It works. Thanks!
• By the way, I fixed a minor error on your part even though you tried to fix it.
• I didn't know there's another type of template that allows this; I checked {{color-link}} before this happened.
• I read "Also see {{color-link-piped}}", and thought that must be for something else. I didn't thought it would be used specifically for redirects.
• I would've preferred if the message was more clear, regarding redirects to be specifically.
• It would say like "Regarding links specific to redirects, see {{color-link-piped}}". --RAP... 00:33, 4 July 2013 (EDT)
