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.
