I haven't seen a single suggestion of how redirected from could be implemented in JavaScript in a way that wasn't unacceptably unstable creating a regression in the feature. - Cookies are not isolated to the tab so they leak in unacceptable ways to other pages creating bogus "redirected from" links. - sessionStorage only works if navigation was done by a link, search, etc... on-wiki and breaks the feature for incoming external links, interwiki links, direct navigation, and on-wiki links created by features not integrated into the sessionStorage handling. - Intermediate meta and javascript redirects create history bugs and naturally are not 301 redirects. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
