Right now the #REDIRECT [[ns:link]] function doesn't work with namespaces outside of www.wikipedia.org (such as meta, and the various languages.
It would probably be good (and easy?) to change it so that redirects can be set up naturally.
Done.
They behave the same as redirects to special pages, which is to say there are a couple of caveats:
* If the target page doesn't exist, we don't know it; you get sent to the empty page.
* There's no 'redirected from' notice/backlink, so editing the redirect page must be done manually
* Can't backtrace them from a 'What links here' page
