I don't think that we should worry about broken links in porting to other formats, but I'm interested in what you all think. So should redirecting non famous people to their userpages be stopped ?
I would prefer that, as a technical matter, it became impossible to redirect anything in the article namespace to anything not in the article namespace. This includes redirects to user pages, redirects to Wikipedia: pages, and especially interwiki redirects. The article namespace should be self-contained and extractable, and all redirects should be essentially "see [[articlelocation]]" links.
IMO, of course.
