Niklas, let me elaborate on this as I understand it.

If the following is correct, the bug can be closed. But I think documentation
should be clarified then. What I was trying to do is to disable the "Wiki logic
level" redirects.

--- HTTP level
The "$wgDebugRedirects" variable controls the action when MediaWiki is about to
generate 301 HTTP reply:
* When "$wgDebugRedirects = false" (default), it actually generates HTTP 301
reply to trigger redirection.
* When "$wgDebugRedirects = true", it generates regular HTTP 200 reply
(success) providing web page with link.

--- Wiki logic level
Word "redirect" in MediaWiki has additional meaning: provide content of the
page normally accessed through a different name. In the case of such redirect,
no
HTTP 301 reply is attempted, and MediaWiki simply provides content of another
page right away using HTTP 200 reply.
