Most any experienced wikist will recognize the URL scheme Wikia uses - franchise dot wikia dot com slash wiki slash content. If you're like me, you feel comfortable typing the whole shebang out, rather than start by navigating from any main page. Let's go to the article "Gumball" from "The Adventures of Gumball". Here we go:

http://theadventruesofgumball.wikia.com/wiki/Gumball

Whoops! I made a typo in the URL. I wrote "adventrues" instead of "adventures". I would love to go back and change that, but I have been redirected to an entirely different URL, one that is familiar and by its familiarity useless to me.

What I would really like to do if I couldn't make simple changes to the URL as is, I would love to click on the URL field and then hit Ctrl-Z to return it to its prior state. This usually works. But there is no option permitting me to do this here. I end up having to retype the whoooole URL again.

Don't you just hate when a 1% typo redirects a whole URL to completely-different-404-error-page.html?
