Hello,
is it possible to use a Location header for redirects?

If you really want this, you might try adding a fake interwiki prefix that points back at your wiki:
INSERT INTO interwiki (iw_prefix,iw_url) VALUES ('redirect', 'http://your.wiki.site/index.php/$1');
Then make redirects like this:
#REDIRECT [[redirect:Some other page]]
This should enable the interwiki redirect mode, which uses a Location: header. Be warned though that these are a pain in the ass: you can't easily get back to edit the source page because there's no backlink.

Yes, because I don't want to have the same content available under different URLs.

Thanks, I'll try it.

Not a big problem.
