https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=19266

           Summary: When redirecting, browser address bar should update
                    with target URL
           Product: webplatform.org
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: infrastructure
        AssignedTo: schepers@w3.org
        ReportedBy: julee@adobe.com
         QAContact: public-webplatform-bugs@w3.org

UI for redirection is confusing to end-user, causing discoverability issues,
including a confusion as to which page is the one redirected vs. which is the
target. To make it easy for user to know location and to contribute, please
update browser address field with current page.

Repro steps (case sensitive):

1. Go to: http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/DOM

You are redirected to: http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/dom.

2. Note: The content says:

"(Redirected from DOM)"

The address bar still says:

"http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/DOM"

Expected: If redirected FROM DOM, address should not be DOM. Instead, address
should indicate */dom.

Expected: When editing a page, user should have visual indication that they are
in the correct location.

Actual: No visual indicator that the user is at another address from the one
they used.
