There is a little bit of discussion about this [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29&oldid=676527491#No_redirect_after_history_merges | here, at en.wp's VPT ]] and it was suggested I open a ticket about it. Basically, I want "mergehistory-success" to use &redirect=no for the source page because typically after a histmerge that page is a redirect. There's a fuller explanation at the VPT link. I think this would be a useful change for all wikis, so instead of creating a local MediaWiki message at en I thought I would bring it here and see if it could be done site-wide. My limited understanding is that changing
```
$3 {{PLURAL:$3|revision|revisions}} of [[:$1]] successfully merged into [[:$2]].
```
to
```
$3 {{PLURAL:$3|revision|revisions}} of [{{fullurl:$1|redirect=no}} $1] successfully merged into [[:$2]].
```
would do the trick, but I am sure people here would know better than me.
