IMO this should be a Page method, (probably not Page.isRedirect as that would 
create new bugs)  which should check for templates which indicate the page is a 
fictitious redirect, including soft redirects.

API calls would still filter strictly on the database 'is redirect' flag, but 
scripts should start to use the new method to also check they are not about to 
modify a page which is effectively a redirect, but either temporarily isnt due 
to CSD, RFD, etc. or permanently isnt due to being a soft redirect.
