I tried to re-test on my side, I performed the following steps:

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.

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.

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'. !U1PagR_after_rename.png\|thumbnail!
