- Change cl_to to two columns: cl_to_id and cl_final_id. cl_to_id
would contain the id of the category that it's actually included in, whereas cl_final_id would be the id of the category it's included in once all redirects are resolved.
- When querying what category something is in for the purposes of
category pages, etc., use cl_final_id, not cl_to_id.
Wouldn't it be easier for upgrading and backwards compatibility to keep the current cl_to field which should indicate the category that is indicated in wikitext, and add a cl_id field, which indicates the real category that is being pointed to.
