Change Details

Contributors need to be able to automatically redirect users from a deprecated page to the corresponding canonical page. In wikitext, this is done with a magic word: #REDIRECT [[Target page]] Flow needs to have a way to do this. Danny/Roan's idea: * Type #REDIRECT [[Target page]] at the top of the board's side rail. * When a user follows a link to the redirect page, the target page says (Redirected from Talk:Board name). * The "Talk:Board name" in that message is a link to the redirect page, with &redirect=no added to the URL. * Removing the #REDIRECT magic word from the side rail makes it a regular board page again. We could do this along with the ability to move topics to another board, or just release it on its own. This is a hidden feature for experienced users, so I'm not very stressed about somebody using it accidentally. Requested on Catalan: https://ca.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tema:Si31dl2puhnj6pcu&topic_showPostId=sj2slbljkfplvy4i#flow-post-sj2slbljkfplvy4i
