If we have a need in pointing (at Wikibase/Wikidata) to redirects on a regular basis, it
might be time to rethink the relevant project design. I ideally would like the default
[[foo]] namespace to be configurable per-wiki, personally, seeing that on some wikis
"foo" is not a valid title for main namespace, while "Category:foo" or
"Portal:foo" is (and uglily, [[foo]] is forced to redirect to that).
