Is it ok to break that by using lots of javascript to list and edit redirects?
Not unless there's a good fallback.
What if the fallback is "edit redirects by hand, as is done currently"? In other words, is it ok to add a new feature that requires javascript, if it is effectively an optional feature?
Is it ok to write to a page
other than the one the user is looking at?
Sure, why not? I'm not sure you'd want to, though.
Well for instance, creating or updating a redirect would require modifying a page to add the #REDIRECT text...
Yes, but that strikes me as not the best way to go about it. I'm thinking that disambiguation and redirect pages should work more like category pages than content pages.
How would this work? Any ideas? I can't see that dynamic disambiguation
pages could ever fully replace manual disambiguation pages, in the same way that categories don't fully supplant lists. Do we want a mechanism whereby both manual and dynamic disambiguation could take place for the same query?
