I am the creator of the page "Erich Brauer," but when any onlooker checks the edit history and goes back to the earliest date, the article is listed as being created by User:Magk. The reason for this discrepancy is because, before I created the article, User:Mag2k had already made a "Redirect" for a different article, entitled "Arik Brauer," but he had used the name "Erich" for his redirect. How can I alleviate this problem, and have the article "Erich Brauer" shown in my own list of articles created? ~~~~

This is phab:T182183. Unfortunately it is a difficult problem to solve. MediaWiki has no formal log of when a redirect became an article. As you can see at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Erich_Brauer&action=info, MediaWiki also claims Mag2k as the page creator. It's simply looking for the oldest revision. XTools works in the same way. There's a proposed hacky workaround at phab:T190065, but I can't make any promises. The issue is really with MediaWiki, not XTools. Sorry!
