Description

Special:Redirect should be able to redirect by page ID, as well as revision ID and user ID.

Granted, this can be done with the URL parameter curid; but that is not discoverable.

This could help for bug 21572 as well - you could set up a rewrite, say from mywiki.example.com/123456 to mywiki.example.com/wiki/Special:Redirect/page/123456

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
