I created a page using the normal editor that was <gallery> File:Example.jpg|Caption1 #REDIRECT [[Target page name]] </gallery> Trying to load this page in VE gives an error message " Error loading data from server: Server error. Would you like to retry? "
Phil, did this happen when you retried? That error message (which sucks, and we're going to fix as part of bug 44354) just means that it couldn't hail the Parsoid server at the time, and normally means that nothing went wrong other than the server availability. More generally, when you edit a page which as has a redirect OR a redirect-like string that isn't a redirect because it's not at the top of the page, Parsoid follows the redirect and returns the document that the redirect points to, which is a pair of bugs (we'll need to be able to edit #REDIRECT statements, so it shouldn't return the redirected page, and it should behave the same way as the PHP parser with regard to what is considered a redirect).
Selecting the OK option to Retry brings the error dialog back up so the only option is to Cancel unless you want to spend all day pressing OK thanks for the extra info on how redirect works - or is meant to work
Phil, I've checked and this is now fixed (in part - there's the wider question of Parsoid and redirection which is covered in bug 45808) - am marking as closed. Thank you again for your bug report! James.
