I think what you want is already live on Wikipedia right now. Try going to the redirect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV This new behavior is part of MediaWiki 1.24 release. Does it better match your expectations ?

A general question that has bothered me quite a while: In case of a redirect, why is it that you do not see the standard name of the page in the address line? For a common user (as for instance myself) this is confusing, because you get a message that you have been redirected but you seem to be on the original page. Why not indicate the standard page name in the URL? Or perhaps the standard name + something like "action=redirected" ? Then the redirect notice would make sense...
