Sometimes one would like to find out if a user arrived to a page via a redirect. What's more, one would also like to know from which specific page was the user redirected from. My suggestion is this: add a new variable called {{{REDIRECTEDFROM}}} which contains the name of the page from where the user was redirected. If the user was not redirected, let that variable be undefined.
Such a magic word makes the parser cache's working pretty much impossible. Suggest WONTFIX.
Agreed. Simply adding the URL parameter to a page would invalidate the parser cache, much less anytime someone arrived via redirect. Going ahead and WONTFIXing this. On a tangent: maybe someone could whip up an extension for all these suggested magic words that break the parser cache. For those who really don't care about caching, I suppose.
OK, sorry, I didn't realize this would break the cache. It just has to be done with javascript then.
