* [Ξ] → Page settings → check "Redirect this page to" → past page title (page name of this article)
* Press Save page (in interface) → Save page (in floating window)

* Start showing Edit filter message (1 image 1)
* Clik on link in this message - new page open in this floating window and this window i can't close or go back to message (image 2)

Comment 2 James Forrester 2014-07-15 18:15:52 UTC
This is caused by an unsuitable use of a template to provide links without a target="_window". Maybe we should prevent clicking on the links instead?
