It has in the past been suggested to have a special type of redirect for misspellings. These could have a "you're an illiterate idiot, from now on please type 'X'" message display when visited or searched, but be hidden from lists like the Allpages list or general search results. Would that be a help?
yup :-) #MISSPELLING [[Napoleon]] for "Napolean", say
It's been suggested at least twice before. I said #DEPRECATED (because it could be for more than misspellings -- old CamelCase, for example, or anything else that unneede for searches). Somebody else said something else a while earlier than that.
I also suggested non-English wikipedias might find it easier to have a synonym of the keyword #REDIRECT in their own language -- so on fr:, #REDIRECT or ... #{whatever} would work
This is a good idea too.
