Is it possible for the special:search logic to take us to
[[category:foo]] if [[foo]] doesnt exist and [[category:foo]] does?
This could be useful on Commons where there is often have a well
maintained category structure with better results than the search
results, and gallery pages ([[foo]]) are not as well maintained.
I guess you could make some Javascript code, similar to Wiktionary's
Auto-Redirect. If you enter
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Technocracy
for example, you get redirected to
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/technocracy?rdfrom=Technocracy
See section "URL fixes" here:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js
I'm not sure whether it would work with Special:Search, though.
