In other words, "#REDIRECT" should mean "redirect, but someone should 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...
