I can't say I'm keen on having things that aren't links bracketted

Makes sense; I hadn't put much thought into the syntax of the
additional markup so much as the need for it.
#REDIRECT [[Foo]] BECAUSE For info on Foo, see
[[#Foo]]
or maybe
#REDIRECT [[Foo]] #BECAUSE For info on Foo, see [[#Foo]]
to make it more clear that "#because" is a magic word, not part of the
explanation.
Makes sense; I had thought the syntax should allow for arbitrarily
long "because" explanations... thus an end delimiter would be of use...
The text would then be displayed below (and formatted with) the
"redirected from" message (which should maybe be more obvious).
As a shortcut, there could be a default text inserted for things of
the form #redirect [[Foo#Bar]], making it equivalent to #redirect
[[Foo]] #because For information on <name of redirect>, see the
section headed [[#Bar|Bar]] below.
Shortcuts are always good :-)
