Why does Template:R to birth name redirect here?

Fixed

Generally, people do not gain "historic" significance just by changing their names or using nicknames. Was this redirection related to a past misuse of the word "historic" to mean any former name? --SoledadKabocha (talk) 21:05, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
