TASK DESCRIPTION Per the parent task, special pages that make edits may need to redirect the visitor to a central login wiki if the edit created a temporary account. This presents a problem for three special pages: - Special:RedirectEntity - Special:MergeItems - Special:MergeLexemes All three of them show a simple message on success. F41816521: image.png <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F41816521> But if we need to redirect, we need to have something for the redirect to return to, once the CentralAuth login magic is done. I think we have two options: 1. Create a new URL state for the special page that can be returned to, e.g. `Special:RedirectEntity/success/Q1/Q2` or `Special:RedirectEntity?fromid=L1&toid=L2&success=true`, which shows the same message as before. (IMHO it’s not important to actually authenticate / validate this state, i.e. check that such an edit was made. If someone manually puts together a “success” URL with entity IDs they didn’t actually edit, and makes the software show a technically incorrect “X was redirected to Y” message… good for them.) 2. Redirect to something else after all, e.g. the target page of the redirect/merge, or the diff of the last edit that was made. (Note that the “merge” special pages make more than one edit on more than one entity, so technically isn’t a single diff we can link to.) (I originally had the first option in mind, but the second one feels more attractive to me right now. But that’s a product decision to make.)
