Description

A function like that would help users to get the content of the _target page, and we would not need to parse the content of the redirect page as I'm doing now

As this has been marked with user-notice, to make sure I don't make any mistakes: How would suggest phrasing this to explain to non-technical editors how this affects and them? How will they notice this in their daily editing?

@Johan : non-technical users won't be affected. This affects only those who work with Scribunto modules...

Excellent, then I wasn't missing anything. (: Thanks.
