This kind of redirect '''should not be used any more''' ~~and is~~ there for a historical reason only to overcome usability issues on wikispaces (the former wiki platform): editing redirects was restricted to administrators, so normal users could not expand a redirect page into a full article.

This kind of redirect has been eliminated and '''should not be used any more'''.
