SpecialItemByLabel should/should not redirect to the ordinary item page
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If a query from the form finds a single item it should/should not go to the item page. Now the item is presented in the special page itself.

An alternative could be to always show the list from the disambiguation page, that is make it look like some kind of special search/list/query/something with a form on top of the page.

There should also be a decision if this special page should look like SpecialItemByTitle, or be different and somehow make the user aware that the two pages are different.

Note that "always show the list from the disambiguation page" means that this also should happen when hitting submit, that is the special page will then never show the item content.

Originally the item content was shown in the special page like in SpecialItemByTitle.

Could do a redirect to get to the correct page if its only one in the set.

I don't like that. I'd prefer to *always* show a list, even if there is just one entry (or none).

I would also suggest to always show the input form.

You and Denny can discuss that! :D

The page will not redirect to the item page, but rather always show a list.
