Return to Question

Some of the posts I requested in this post got merged, and now I can only see 404 pages. When the question is merged, can we redirect the original question to the new one automatically?

Related: Automatically Redirect on Merged/Migrated Questions, but I don't think migrated question should be redirected, this is only needed for merged questions because there is no way to retrieve the new page.

Shog9 also suggested to do redirection of Merged questions here: When merging questions, leave the duplicate one as a placeholder

Also related to Redirect links to moved questions, but the meaning of moved could be many others, like deleted, those do not need to redirect.

Almost exact duplicate here (with the title, but content says deleted questions also, but I think deleted questions shouldn't be redirected): Why do migrated questions lack redirection via HTTP response status code 301 (Moved Permanently)?. Or is there an easy way to find out where the questions were migrated?

And I believe, now people encourging merging duplicate questions instead of deleting, so this would happen more from now on. And I am putting a bounty to get more attention.
