--- Comment #3 from C. Scott Ananian <[email protected]> ---
From IRC discussion w/ GWicke:

gwicke: I think that we should not resolve redirects for top-level requests
gwicke: should return a meta instead that lets the VE edit the redirect
cscott-free: yeah, although editing "#REDIRECT [[foo]]" is a bit awkward,
that's an <ol>
gwicke: obviously we'd expose it as <meta property="mw:Redirect" content="foo">
or something like that
cscott-free: i think i learned recently that there can be other 'stuff' in a
redirect?
gwicke: arguably this should eventually end up in the head instead of the
content
gwicke: but for now we should probably keep it in the content area in the
interest of round-tripping
cscott-free: that makes sense.
gwicke: cscott: there can be page content following it that is normally ignored
by MW
gwicke: but we should probably still round-trip it
gwicke: hence the idea to keep it inline for now rather than returning a blank
body with meta info in the head
(01:58:07 PM) cscott-free: i suspect there should be a corresponding VE bug for
editing the <meta property="mw:Redirect" content="foo">
(01:58:08 PM) gwicke: maybe we should use link / rel / href again
(01:58:21 PM) gwicke: for the same relative link resolution reasons

(see bug 45206 comment 5 for a brief discussion of the meta/link issues)
