            Bug ID: 70962
           Summary: Redirect does not appear in browser histori
           Product: MediaWiki

If one is searching for a page and gets redirected and then changes to the talk
page or the history page, it is not possible to navigate back in the browser
history to the original redirect. Also after you went further to the history or
talk page after going back the name of the redirect  does not appear anymore
below the article's name ("redirected from…").

I suspect that this problem occurs since the update in which it was modified
that the URL shows the page to which was redirected, not the redirect page
itself anymore. I consider this behaviour as wrong and also undesired (f.ex. if
you need to fix the redirect after you saw the

Example:

In German WP [[Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez]] redirects to [[Flughafen
Lima]], the redirect does not appear in the browser history. After you clicked
to the talk page for instance and having clicked "back" (the left arrow in most
browsers) you go back to [[Flughafen Lima]] but you cannot go back anymore to
[[Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez]].
