It already redirects there, though we don't want to advertise that we have a "link shortener" because the 404 page redirects.
Nobody should rely on that redirect for any purpose. The redirect is only still there because someone forgot to remove the <meta> tag when the page was last synced (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17316).
