That's a sensible idea IMO.

Most of what you suggest is to combat trolling or vadalism, but one
thing you mention -- duplication of articles -- almost always happens by
accident rather than malice.
To combat that, I think we really should make more redirects when pages
are created. Just the other day, I was going to start an article on
http://www.memory-alpha.org/ and called it [[MemoryAlpha]] without
realising that there was already [[Memory Alpha]]. There should have
been a redirect!
So, I was wondering if the New Pages Patrol (which I think is a good
idea even though I don't have time to participate in it before my exams)
should include the "duty" of creating redirects from alternative names,
titles, spellings, etc.etc.etc.
