Very often potholes like [[Laputa: Castle in the Sky|Castle in The Sky]] which you recently corrected on Studio Ghibli are the result of some of our earliest cleanup of wiki data after the fork, when we were fixing work pages with wrong or abbreviated names, followed by bot runs that turned the old direct links into potholes. (There was a good reason for doing that instead of outright replacing them, but ten years later, I can't remember what it was.) There's no need to make a big fuss about them in the edit reason; when I fix stuff like that I just note "potholes" in the reason.

Thanks for the information! I always consider writing too much better than writing too little; in the former the worst is I waste somebody's time, in the latter I can seriously confuse someone. I'll take note for the future.
