Most good bots use a direct conection to the server, so that is not a
problem. Popups should not have any effect, since they do not do anything
with new pages as far as I know.

Would anyone object to preloading a references

For example, when a user searches for a topic and
clicks the big "Create
this article" link, the user will be shown a page like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Testing...testing...testing<
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Testing...testing...testing&a…
n=edit&preload=Template:Article+starter>
&action=edit&preload=Template:Article+starter.
The text of this template is at [[Template:Article starter]].

How would this work if you just wanted to make a redirect? Further,
would this get in the way of anything useful automated tools, like
bots or popups or...?
