849853 - Add toolbar button for creating redirects

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

What problems would this solve?
===============================
Currently, creating redirects is hard, involving adding a slightly tricky link structure to the page by hand. People often get them wrong, or accidentally create redirects right back to the redirect, resulting in an infinite loop.

Who would use this?
===================
Any user editing content and creating a redirect.

What would users see?
=====================
A button in the toolbar; this would pop up a dialog to let the user select a target page (with a UX similar to the link editor, probably).

What would users do? What would happen as a result?
===================================================
Press the button in the toolbar and pick a target page for the redirect. After doing so, the new redirect code would be put into the page.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
Should this replace all the content of the page with the redirect, or just add the redirect? Probably the former.
