While I agree here, they are also sorta required: if some external site links to a site in our Wiki, we want this link to stay valid forever ideally. So we have to track renames (or completely forbid them) and forward to the new page.

About the (internal) redirects: Is it not in our power to fix all internal links that linked to the old page into links that link to the new page? I mean, we can just make a new revision for each page algorithmically that just does the renames. No user interaction is needed.

Could be handled with a custom Django template tag like "WikiLink" that behaves like inter WikiLinking. Not sure if that is really necessary though.
