This is due to an option in Special:Preferences where
you can choose your
sex. If it's unset or set to male, then Benutzerin will redirect to
Benutzer. If it's set to female, then Benutzer redirects to Benutzerin.
This is consistent with the German language. I've confirmed using a script
that the Melly42 account has the sex set to female.
I'm actually rather impressed by this feature. It's a nice little use of
the preference that I'd never seen before.

Hi All,
I want to ask a question about the namespace alias redirection.
On the
de.wikipedia.org, Benutzerin is the namespace alias of Benutzer,
.
Anybody could tell me what happened?
Thanks!
