This tool has been very helpful, but it looks like when you look up the current state of a title, it goes to current Wikipedia, notices it's a redirect, and then replaces the input query with the destination. This is probably fine in the general case, but it screws things up when the redirect had just been created recently, and the data set actually exists for the redirect title, while the data for the new location is not what is sought, it's very annoying.

Could you perhaps provide an option to force a lookup of the redirect in the data?

TIA.
