Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Move a mainspace article with any kind of protection (e.g., semiprotection).
What happens?: The same protection is not applied to the newly created redirect.
What should have happened instead?: The same protection is applied to the newly created redirect.
Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
Visit the "from" links at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=protect&user=&page=&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype=move_prot (such as Raashi Khanna), and you will see that some of the mainspace redirects are not correctly (semi)protected.
However, Template:Football in Northern Ireland and Template:WikiProject RuPaul's Drag Race were correctly semiprotected. So, it appears that the bug only affects mainspace articles, not pages in other namespaces.
