Thanks for the request, Bergi. I'm removing the 1.18 tarball release milestone because I think this is not *urgent* enough for us to aim to fix it, review the code for the fix, and roll it out within the next couple of weeks (which is when we're trying to get the 1.18 tarball release out). However, per discussion with Daniel Friesen on IRC, it seems reasonable to aim for the 1.19 tarball release, so I've added that milestone instead.

$wgMaxRedirects allows to follow more than one redirects. A new JavaScript variable should contain an array of the redirected titles. The Array should be empty when there is no redirect.

If $wgMaxRedirects is set to a value > 1 still only one redirect is actually followed. The rest of the redirect chain (up to $wgMaxRedirects redirects) is shown to the visitor, but not followed.

Puts the "redirected from" pagetitle in mw.config.get('wgRedirectedFrom').

Usage example:
if (window.mw.config.get('wgRedirectedFrom')) {

alert(window.mw.config.get('wgRedirectedFrom'));

}

I swear there's another bug for this where I updated someone else's patch, but MrBlueSky's patch on this bug is better.
