Unless I'm missing something there is no feature for action=query to report which articles were redirects. There is a "redirects" option which actually resolves any articles which are redirects but this unnecessarily heavyweight. You can also use "prop=revisions" to look at the wikitext of the article but this is also heavyweight and potentially error prone since the syntax of a # REDIRECT is surprisingly variable. The redirect data is available at sql query time for no extra cost.
Does "prop=info" do what you're asking?
This is possible, see <http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&titles=RFP> <page pageid="50390" ns="0" title="RFP" touched="2008-06-28T14:43:55Z" lastrevid="935917" counter="0" length="42" redirect="" />
Yes prop=info does what I want. I would suggest the documentation be added. So far there is only: * prop=info (in) * Get basic page information such as namespace, title, last touched date, ... It's hard for us dummies to know that "..." includes redirect info without trial and error.
