When you conflict with a page move, you will be asked to merge your edits with the redirect page. This is annoying even if you understand, what happened (3 additional clicks & reloads), and confusing for a newbie. (Possible outcomes include overwriting the redirect, thereby creating another, different version of the article, and writing below the redirect command, which causes all the text to disappear.) The software should transfer you to the new page instead. Steps to reproduce: 1. start editing [[OLD]] as User A. 2. login as User B in a different browser, move the page to [[NEW]]. 3. save [[OLD]] in the first browser. Result: edit conflict page appears, containing "#REDIRECT [[NEW]]" as actual text. After clicking Save, text will be saved to [[OLD]]. Expected result: Edit conflict page should contain the current text of [[NEW]]. After clicking Save, text should be saved to [[NEW]]. If possible, there should be no edit conflict at all if there were no other changes than the page move.
still present in 1.19. bumping priority and severity.
Not a bug but a feature request, and such a rare edge case that it's surely lowest priority.
