Description Danny 2007-08-19 13:29:11 UTC 
ParserFunctions should be amended such that some text can be made to appear only on redirected URLs.

Example: Suppose that A redirects to B. We should be able to put something likr {{#redirect:A|A redirects here}} on B, so that the text "A redirects here" will appear on B only if the user accesses A.
Comment 1 Rob Church 2007-08-19 16:42:56 UTC 
This isn't possible at the moment; redirects are handled at a much higher level than page rendering, and the parser doesn't know what page was requested.

It's also inadvisable; redirects should be transparent to readers.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2007-08-20 13:31:33 UTC 
The software already tells you you were redirected. People must be adding those messages for some other reason, then, such as finding the backlink to the other page when you *weren't* redirected.
