When querying for a page by name that is a redirect, for example with
page <- page_content("en", "wikipedia", page_name = "Ernst Karl Abbe", as_wikitext = FALSE)
the downloaded page will be the redirect page (in this case saying that this is a redirect to "Ernst Abbe").
It would be usefull to have an (optional) argument to instead follow that redirect and retrieve the actual page.
