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?
