It will work, but it doesn't need to. You're setting a redirect target
to the Output Object and then killing it.
If WebResponse::header delayed the call to header() it wouldn't.
If dying, the right way would be using the php functions, not its
mediawiki wrappers:
header( 'Location: ' . $redirectTarget->getFullURL() );
die();
If you exit after an article save, various important update operations
will be skipped. Instead, I would recommend:
$wgOut->disable();
header( 'Location: ' . $redirectTarget->getFullURL() );
Or better still, patch Article::doRedirect() to allow changing the
redirect URL.
