When you land on a redirect the "Redirected from" is still there. And (at least as far as testing in Firefox goes) when I land on a redirect, go to history, then press back the page I go back to still has the "Redirected from" line there. The UI/workflow for people working with redirects is still there. > Also, if I understand comment # 16 correctly it became impossible to > distinguish how many users came through which redirect and therefore the > possibility is lost to determine which redirects are useful and which are > not or if the construct of a disambiguation page should be modified or not. No, the address bar change is done by JS after load. The HTTP request for redirect pages is still the same URL and logs can still distinguish when a user lands on the canonical page or the redirect. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
