Description

If there's a redirect Wikipedia:RFA -> Wikipedia:Requests for adminship, send users trying to access WP:RFA/Jujutacular to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Jujutacular. It would be more convenient.

WP: is a name space alias of Wikipedia:, and RFA is a page in the Wikipedia namespace with a simple redirect, I'm pretty sure that it could/would break things if we did that due to the possibility of that sub-page having a redirect somewhere else.

Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:RFA&redirect=no

My first thought was only sending users accessing WP:RFA/Jujutacular with the Go button in the search box (and not links), so I put it in the Search component.
