Flow Thanks workflow= URLs are not redirected to the specific post in Safari
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Safari doesn't accept redirects that point to a section.
The "thanks" URLs now look like this:
https://office.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Village_pump&workflow=swgyj4wea32gwwrm#flow-post-swgyj4wfu9h5d5gi
which ought to redirect to this:
https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/Topic:Swgyj4wea32gwwrm#flow-post-swgyj4wfu9h5d5gi
but which actually end up here in Safari:
https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/Topic:Swgyj4wea32gwwrm

(confirmed that it works properly (as expected) in Firefox/Chromium)

This was fixed by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/249359/3 , I forgot to tag it.

We no longer use the workflow= parameter, instead we figure out where the post is server-side and redirect to it directly.
