I haven't looked at the redirect code, so I can't say for sure how it works, or if this is already done.
Is there a standard function that returns a class/associative array of a link's attributes, taking the link text as an argument? I would like to see such a function being used for both parsing and redirecting. The redirect code would only use the URL/translated title of it, but the parser would use all of the attributes.

Okay, one more #REDIRECT question...
How about redirecting TO a Category: page? I read on Meta that you can do it by prefacing with a colon, but that it will only show the editable text.
Does 1.5 (development) accomplish redirects to Category pages with all the included pages for the category?
That would be very handy. For example, I have an Agriculture category, but no Agriculture page. I want the word "agriculture" to link to Good Stuff, but don't want to go to the trouble of fleshing out an Agriculture page at this time. It would be very convenient to #REDIRECT it off to [[:Category:Agriculture]] for the present.
