Hi,

I find that the result of list=backlinks for page XXX is odd when one of the backlinks is a redirect on a different page than XXX, but has also contents with a link to XXX.

See for example backlinks to en:Spin-off
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?bltitle=Spin-off&continue=&action=query&blredirect=&list=backlinks&format=xml&bllimit=max

Among the backlinks, there's for example "User talk:SummerPhD" and all pages linking to this talk page :

It's content contains a link to Spin-off page, so it's normal to see it.
It's also a redirect (bad practice to have a redirect page with contents), so all backlinks to this talk page are also listed while they have no relation at all to "Spin-off"

Is it normal to have this behaviour ?

Nico
