Bug #: 29115
Summary: add redirect target value on page info (ApiQueryInfo)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API
AssignedTo: [email protected]

It would be nice to get the redirect target as info from api when querying a
redirect page.
At the current wmf live version you have to parse the page content for getting
the correct redirect target. That should be unnecessary in future because of
bug 28952.
But you still have to make two api requests (without and with
redirect-Parameter) if you are also interested in informations about the
redirect page. (E.g. if it's a staticredirect using page=pageprops).
It would be much easier if the redirect target information is also included in
the page information when querying a page that is a redirect.
My suggestion would be that prop=info should contain this information in its
redirect value. At the moment redirect="" is returned. This could be changed to
redirect="iw:targetpage#anker", a combination of interwiki, fulltitle and
fragment (splitting is not needed).
This shouldn't break existing tools because at the moment only the existence of
this redirect attribute is tested and the value is ignored.
