The original topic is here: [https://forum.xwiki.org/t/author-of-automatic-redirects-is-xwiki-guest/17604].
I tried to re-test on my side, I performed the following steps: # Login with a regular user 'User One' # Create a page (e.g. "U1Pag") # Login with Admin # Rename this page to "U1PagR" by ticking "Create an automatic redirect" option
On the renamed page ("U1PagR"), the Creator and Last content author remained the same: 'User One'.

Indeed, on the [http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/RedirectClass] page, under Existing Pages Live Data, in 'Last Author' column, "Unknown User" (XWikiGuest) is displayed for this page, but the entry contains the location/title of the original page (before rename).

I could reproduce this behavior also on XWiki 13.10.11 (oldest version tested), so it's old, but maybe something is off on the RedirectClass page.
