Description Dan Jacobson 2009-08-27 00:27:20 UTC
Gentlemen, often one wants to be sure one will be editing the redirect itself, so one
gives the URL with redirect=yes&action=edit ... but that ends up being the same as redirect=no&action=edit.

E.g., at the bottom of
http://www.couchsurfing.org/wiki/Guest they have made a link
http://wiki.couchsurfing.org/wiki/index.php?title=Guest&action=edit
which is the best they can do, as there is no way to say "redirect=yes" and have it work. Same with 1.16 SVN.

Changing to enhancement, redirect=yes doesn't do anything.

Request is for enhancement to EditPage for redirect=yes to edit the redirect target, not the redirect itself.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2009-09-03 01:28:55 UTC
This third-party customized site should simply be using the correct page title object when generating its edit links.
