Description

Fragment of the page http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Watchlist?uselang=en

When article deleted to make the way for renaming and then another article moved to this name, article displays as red link.

For example (see attachment): article [[uk:Айзек Азімов]] was deleted to make a way for renaming; then the article [[uk:Азімов Айзек]] was renamed to [[uk:Айзек Азімов]]. Now [[uk:Айзек Азімов]] exists but appears in watchlist as redlink.

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Rephrasing. Basically: deleted article entries in the Watchlist appear as redlinked, even if the title was later recreated/moved to/etc.
