Description James Forrester 2013-04-17 18:49:28 UTC 
In advance of fixing bug 47328 (which will probably be after the July release), we need to prevent the broken behaviour outlined by C. Scott in bug 47328 comment 1 - so just refuse to load on a page which is a redirect?
Comment 1 dayuloli 2013-04-19 11:36:18 UTC 
For me, if you tried to edit a redirect page, it loads with the redirected page.

Yes, this is current behaviour from Parsoid that will be fixed by fixing bug 47328, but that will leave users with a very confusing blank page. That is why I made this bug. :-)

It seems like it would be trivial to check whether the page is a redirect and simply disable VisualEditor if so. I'm adding the "easy" keyword to this bug.

It gets a bit trickier if the page does not yet exist, though.
