Description WhatamIdoing 2014-05-30 00:27:59 UTC
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_candies?veaction=edit

2. Wonder why it is editing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_candy (the target) instead of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_candies (the redirect)?


Actual Results:  
It first redirects me to the target page, and then opens the target page for editing.  This makes it impossible to change the redirect to some other page, unless you modify the URL to say https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_candies?veaction=edit&redirect=no (either manually or by first visiting to the redirect page).


Reproducible: Always
