append "&redirect=no" to the end of the URL. For example on en.wiki
WP:ANI redirects to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents
so if you append it to the url like so
"http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=WP:ANI&redirect=no"; and
then you can access the page without the redirect and edit the page as
you wish.
