Its more an issue of the external links
Just a thought on this, but assuming that the move were community-approved then would it be possible to do a sort of "hard-redirect" .... [snip]
It has already been noted that such a system seems already to be in place and there is no need to redirect anything on-wiki. Last one was:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AVillage_pump_%28propos...
These links all work (also with on-wiki internal linking):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Main_page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Main_page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Main_Page
Pick the one you like. :-)
For comparison, the Swedes have the aliases:
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Huvudsida http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huvudsida
Their http://sv.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Mainpage&action=edit is "Portal:Huvudsida" so they have "Portal" on the first tab on the top of the page.
