Detect redirects (Cumulative Facebook shares)

[riceissa]

When submitting "Cumulative Facebook shares", the numbers for redirects are the same as those of the destination pages because Facebook merges redirects with the actual articles. This is confusing unless you can tell that a page is a redirect.

For instance submit the following pages:

Quora
Timeline of Quora

at http://wikipediaviews.org/multiplemonths.php (I would post a link but Wikipedia Views can't do this currently).

Notice that the "Cumulative Facebook shares" are the same because the timeline page redirects to the main page.

I would suggest coloring redirects in rgb(255, 137, 33) (#FF8921), which is the color Wikipedia uses in the "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange" gadget.

Redirects can be detected using the MediaWiki API. Compare https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Timeline%20of%20Quora&redirects&format=jsonfm

{
    "batchcomplete": "",
    "query": {
        "redirects": [
            {
                "from": "Timeline of Quora",
                "to": "Quora",
                "tofragment": "Timeline"
            }
        ],
        "pages": {
            "26749224": {
                "pageid": 26749224,
                "ns": 0,
                "title": "Quora"
            }
        }
    }
}

with https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Quora&redirects&format=jsonfm:

{
    "batchcomplete": "",
    "query": {
        "pages": {
            "26749224": {
                "pageid": 26749224,
                "ns": 0,
                "title": "Quora"
            }
        }
    }
}
