--- Comment #3 from Alex Monk <[email protected]> ---
I spoke to Roan about what I would need to know to do this today. After some
explanation we realised that this relies on meta items (e.g. redirects) having
the possibility of being visible (at the moment they are just stripped from the
model data so we don't know where they are). That is somewhere on his work list
but he is not particularly close to starting it.

Also, I thought for a moment that since a valid redirect must be in a certain
position (at the top of the document - if it's under something else then it's
actually just a list element starting with 'redirect' and with a link to the
target page), we could perhaps rely on that to make it visible. But I suspect
that would be a pretty ugly solution.

When checking that I was right about the valid positioning of redirects, I
found that Parsoid implements redirects wrong (or rather, differently to
MediaWiki core's parser): it seems quite happy to accept a redirect that is
anywhere in the document.
