Could merged threads re-direct go to last page instead of first?

it’s all well and good to indicate that the mods have moved a thread as shown in this screenshot
but clicking on the old thread takes you to the first page of the new location as shown in this screenshot — seems like it would be more valuable to redirect to the last page which is where the merge actually exists

The "seam" of the merge can exist anywhere. A merge doesn't just tack on to the end of an existing post, it's more like a zipper, with posts inserting between each other, based on time stamp.
Also, unfortunately, this would be a core change that would have to be approved by not just the Travel Department, but also Auto and Home, who all use the same forum software.
