I have noticed a few redirects are pointing to the old pages instead of the new.

Take for instance http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Modding. Instead of redirecting to the current version, it redirects to http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/v0.34:Modding_guide (at least in my browser).

However, if I go to the redirect page (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Modding&redirect=no), everything looks fine, and the link leads to the proper page.

This is not expected behavior and is quite annoying. Is there any way to fix this?

Tag them with {{bad redirect}} and I will delete them (which allows the extension we use to handle them correctly instead of relying on MediaWiki). My best guess is that MediaWiki is caching redirects to point to old pages, but I have no idea why it's still an issue 9 months after introducing the DF2014 namespace.
