In Norwegian Clyde Barrow (http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clyde_Barrow) is an
article while in German Clyde Barrow
(http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Clyde_Barrow&redirect=no) is a
redirect. In the article Bonnie und Clyde
(http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_und_Clyde) information from the individual
pages Bonnie Parker
(http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bonnie_Parker&redirect=no) and Clyde
Barrow would then be referenced explicitly.

To me this seems like not following redirects will kill the 99% usecase in
favor of the 1%. If we can add a flag to the query module to tell it not to
move on to other pages if there is a __STATICREDIRECT__ then it might work, but
if it means parsing the page to check for this magic word then I'm against it.

Also note that the proposed use of __STATICREDIRECT__ is slightly on the side
of its ordinary use, ie.:

"On redirect pages, don't allow MediaWiki to automatically update the link when
someone moves a page and checks "Update any redirects that point to the
original title"."
