Redirect links to this category? edit

So many pages, including this category which is supposed to replace it, still link to the "historical" Stub redirects page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_redirects

These links should either be removed or replaced with links to the appropriate location, which if I understand correctly is this category.

Sorry all I can do is point this out at the moment! I'll try to follow up in a better location soon but my real-life limitations might not let me. Thanks in advance! —Geekdiva (talk) 11:17, 6 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much for your concerns, Geekdiva! The page you link to is, as you know, being kept for historical reference. Since this category page references that page, and since that page has at least two links to this category, one at the very top and one in the side-navbar, I'm not sure why you seem to want to bypass that historical reference?  Paine Ellsworth  put'r there  09:23, 20 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
