The "Redirected from" link is a basic feature that should be usable even when
JavaScript is disabled.

If we were to use a 301 redirect, as explained in bug 18883, "fudging in" a URL
parameter would be necessary, and it would create even uglier URLs that are
somewhat harder to cache.

For example:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malia_Obama#Malia_and_Sasha_Obama

versus

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama?r=Malia_Obama#Malia_and_Sasha_Obama

In either case, cleaning up the URL would require replaceState.
