--- Comment #3 from Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) <[email protected]> ---
Current patch only creates "redirects" behind, but MW doesn't actually
recognize these as redirects. This means people without "delete" can't revert
moves (if they move their own common.js or something) since the pages aren't
recognized as redirects.

Also if a wiki changes their domain, there is no easy way to find "redirects"
that need updating without doing a full text search (usually difficult) or just
going through logs (not perfect).

My proposal is that we make these real MW redirects.

We can't just turn any mw.loader.load("url...") into a redirect since people
might have common.js's with just one script being loaded.

A magic syntax like /* #REDIRECT */mw.loader.load("url..."); is what I'm
thinking of. "#REDIRECT" will be hardcoded and English only and must be in that
exact format with spaces and whatnot.

Thoughts?
