I'm noticing that when I reach a page via a redirect, clicking the Edit button opens the *redirect* page, not the page that's actually being displayed. This can be an issue on a wiki that uses redirects to handle variations in spelling, such as those between US and Commonwealth English. For example, on The Sims Wiki, "Neighbourhood" redirects to "Neighborhood". Also, we frequently use short forms of game titles, and use redirects to make sure they reach the proper article.

At least for us, it seems more likely that someone who wants to edit a page reached through a redirect will want to edit the page rather than the redirect itself. If someone does want to edit the redirect, they can reach it by clicking on the link in the "Redirected from" line. This behavior needs to be changed. At the very least, it needs to be something that individual wikis can disable.
