In other words, "#REDIRECT" should mean

look at this and decide whether it's #SPELLING, #SUBTOPIC, or #SEE".
Especially the move function should use this (unless, of course, you
also extend that and let the mover choose).
It would be nice, for some or all redirect directives, to put the
redirectee under the redirector in search results. Consider the
following search result for "USA":
8. _USA_ (27 bytes)
I'd suggest this be displayed as:
8. USA
see _United_States_ (X bytes)
Looks nice, feels nice, and it doesn't look like the article is only 27
bytes long. This also opens the door (at least conceptually) for "see
also" links in the style of inter-language links. Has this come up
before?
BTW, why is it so hard to find the article 'United States' by title? A
search for ' "United States" ' doesn't bring it up...
