Bug ID: 67200
Summary: VisualEditor: deleting the text from the article and
converting it to a redirect page still leaves in
categories and Other Stuff
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: MediaWiki integration

Deleting the text from the article and converting it to a redirect page still
leaves all the categories in it, as well as Other Stuff such as magic words and
invisible templates.
This is a regression in comparison to the source editor, where the editor could
just delete everything and be sure that categories, magic words, invisible
templates and everything else is gone.
Just redirecting an article shouldn't necessarily remove everything, because
it's actually possible that the editor wants to leave the article in a
category. Some projects, including enwiki, have categories, templates etc. in
redirect pages. But probably some kind of a warning should be shown.
