Description
If you try to delete a page that is only a REDIRECT to an other page, deletion will fail.
Steps to reproduce
- Have a page that consists only of
##REDIRECT Target
Call that page (i.e. be sure the URL reads ?action=show)
- From the "More Actions" menu, choose "Delete Page"
Although the URL now reads ?action=DeletePage, you won't be able to delete the page, as the confirmation dialogue is not shown, but only the message "This page is redirected to..."

Workaround
- Edit the "redirect" page.
Remove the #REDIRECT line and replace it with some meaningless content, like DeleteMe.
- Save the page.
- Now call the "Delete Page" action.
