Hello guys,
we have had a discussion about how entity redirects should be implemented and there is also an overview on meta.wikimedia.org [1]. Now the people I discussed with agreed that the second option [2] is the best one and that we should use it. However, in the recent week there did not come any more feedback so I suppose that everyone is fine with #2.
My questions concern the further development process of this feature. If nobody has any objections within 24 hours I will add a note to the page and would like to start discussing in a more detailed way how the feature should be implemted. Furthermore I would also like to implement some first changes to speed up the fix of this change. Please provide me some feedback and enhancements how the next steps should look like and what has to be discussed before starting to write some code.
Best regards, Bene

Hey,
I have no strong objections against #2 at this point. The responsibilities of EntityContent are rather fuzzy to me and it has design issues. In case this makes it worse, the effect will still be isolated to a small part of our codebase. I'd need to have a detailed look at the whole system to provide further input. So +0 from my side.
Cheers
