I'm looking for a quick or clever method to
achieve the following:
Site A (not a wiki) has a "Create page" link to the wiki to create a new
page and pre-fill it with a template.
But if the wiki page already exists (does not actually need to be
created), what I really want to have happen is to have the user get
redirected to the page in Read mode, not Edit mode.
Is there a way to construct a URL such that mediawiki will check if the
page already exists, and upon an edit request, redirect instead to the Read
page?
Thanks!
