Redirected pages
When an article in the wiki is edited with the "redirect" command, is there a way to reopen the article? When conducting a search, or clicking on an article in the search results that has the redirect command within the article, the wiki will take the user to the other article. Sometimes there's a need to get to the old article. Is there a way to do that?

? vs &
A minor correction:The Earl wrote:"To go to the original page, one can click on the aforementioned link, or append the string &redirect=no to the end of the URL."
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect
If you do not have any parameters in your URL, you must replace the & with ?.
If you do not have a ? in your URL, you don't have any parameters.
So,
http://testwiki/Test:Wiki
becomes
http://testwiki/Test:Wiki?redirect=no
http://testwiki/Test:Wiki?parameter=1
becomes
http://testwiki/Test:Wiki?parameter=1&redirect=no
Hope that makes sense.
