events and places and organizations below the national level.
Well, I suppose adding a category to redirects from names "in standard
form" could definitely be done now; and it would be possible (?) to make
it a "Preferences" option to display standard form names as article titles.
As for rationalisation of dab pages, the MOSDAB people constantly work
on this. I have reservations, certainly, because (unlike the redirect
case) the idea that a dab page is solely for shunting people on to
another page strikes me as ideological rather than in the best interests
of the encyclopedia.
