Edit a page and then replace the title of the page you're editing in that URL with the redirect title.

Is there anyway to get to the main redirect page without editing it?

Go to an edit screen of any page then replace the title of the redirect you want to go to (and make sure the /main or /anime or whatever is set right.) and remove the redirect script in the edit box then click save.

There is no "redirect page". As far as I'm aware, the TV Tropes software doesn't have a function to view a "behind the scenes" version of the link like Wikipedia does. If you try to view a page that is a redirect, it will redirect you.

It is possible. For example, if you have a double redirect, it will give up and show you the actual redirect.
Edit: Or at least it used to. The redirect mechanism must have been changed. Anyway, I managed to do it once but that was on accident and I can't figure out how to intentionally trigger it.

Actually there is now a circular redirect screen — I've seen it. It contains edit links to both pages in question.

I already figured that out. It also appears that it will automatically follow an arbitrary number of redirects chained together. So basically, there's always a 302 regardless of URL options.
It's really strange though that I managed to get the old behavior exactly once. I wish I could figure out how I did it.

Is there still interest in this?

This is for making it easier to edit redirect "pages" correct?
If so, I think it's worth implementing.

How do you disable a redirect when you want to go to the redirect page, not the target? I think you have to put something in the URL but I can't remember.
