A *very long time ago* I suggested we implement
sysnonyms of the
REDIRECT keyword, that would indicate the type:
#MISSPELLING
#DEPRECATED for subpages, etc
and plain old #REDIRECT would correspond to a "see also" entry.
If you do do this, please deprecate #REDIRECT and use (say) #SEE
instead. Otherwise it will be very difficult to find redirects that have
not already been considered.
In other words, "#REDIRECT" should mean "redirect, but someone should
look at this and decide whether it's #SPELLING, #SUBTOPIC, or #SEE".
Especially the move function should use this (unless, of course, you
also extend that and let the mover choose).
I'm suggesting #SPELLING instead of #MISSPELLING so it can encompass
both misspellings and alternate spellings/capitalisations.
