If I have a TopicOne that contains simply

Redirect: TopicTwo
Summary: Old summary for TopicOne

and TopicTwo has this content

Summary: Summary for TopicTwo

the hovertext for TopicOne should show "Summary for
TopicTwo", but instead shows "Old summary for TopicOne."

    I think this is a feature, not a bug.

    It is useful to be able to set up a topic that redirects to an
    external link (not a wiki page). The hovertext for the topic is
    determined by the topic page. The external link by its nature
    doesn't have a summary (or any other properties).

    I think it is reasonable that Redirect: should do just that--
    generate a redirect, without attempting any other behavior
    changes. You can always change the summary on the
    redirect page to get the effect that you want.
