Hi Piotr - I like the soft and hard redirects. What is a "smart" redirect though? In your article you describe them as the same, but you have created separate "Soft redirects" and "Smart redirects" categories as though they are different. Are they the same thing or two different things? Thanks for helping to organize all this!

:: OK. In case it's helpful to anyone, here is a link to MediaWiki's redirects - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Redirects. I think the thing you are calling "regular" and "hard" redirects might be the same thing (use of <code>#REDIRECT</code), but I don't want to change the page now since you are editing.
