TASK DESCRIPTION
  Consider this redirect page: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Recumbent_effigy&action=edit. It has 
a macro that commands: " This redirect was kept in order to preserve this 
page's edit history after its content was merged into the target page's 
content. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text "
  ```
  #REDIRECT [[Gisant]] {{R from merge}}
  ```
  I want to merge https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6642845 (representing this 
redirect page) to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17090833, but I get this error:
  ```
  A conflict detected on enwiki: [[Q17090833]] with enwiki:Gisant, [[Q6642845]] 
with enwiki:Recumbent effigy
  ```
  I guess the error is reported because of the extra macro on the redirect 
page. Can the merging code be generalized to also work on such pages? IMHO if 
there is `#REDIRECT` it should merge no matter what other text is on the page.
