Note that /dev/random is not a redlink, even it appears to be so. This because Wikipedia interprets it to be a subpage of this page (try to click on the link) while in fact it is not. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 22:04, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If it is red and a link, then it is a redlink ;) . Interesting behaviour, I guess it should be written [[:/dev/random]] = /dev/random, but it's such a special case that it may not be worthwhile to program for it. Good catch, by the way. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 11:52, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No, I will not bother with [[:/dev/random]] as today the bot will remove this from the list of mathematical articles anyway, and the only other place will then be on this blacklist, where it won't disturb too many people (except you, that is :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 19:28, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
