Follow Special:MyPage links when opening pages

Opened this issue · 1 comments

hello! I am trying to write a guide on how to use Mediawiker and in the interest of letting people copy-paste help text, I wanted to tell people to type Special:MyPage/sublime test when opening their first page (which should resolve to User:TheirUsername/sublime test). But it looks like this redirect isn't being respected, I'm getting an error message:

APIError exception: ('pagecannotexist', "Namespace doesn't allow actual pages.", 'See https://neutronized.wiki.gg/api.php for API usage. Subscribe to the mediawiki-api-announce mailing list at <https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/mediawiki-api-announce.lists.wikimedia.org/> for notice of API deprecations and breaking changes.')

In the interest of making tutorials easier to write & follow, could you make this redirect be respected always?

edit: here is the post

Mediawiker opens pages in raw format without any redirections ot smth.
