Maybe, but there will be a day on which the link works (in which
case it won't be updated). Then there will be a day when the
link doesn't work. So I'm not sure that keeping the redirects
for a few days/weeks would really help.
The main issue is that I have a script that will rename 578
pages. With the cost of one extra line in the script, it could
delete the old pages at the same time (if it had sysop
privilege).
I guess I should stop worrying about the ugliness of having 578
useless redirect pages. One reason I do worry about it is that
I'm planning to have another script periodically download
everything for a backup, and to allow easy checks for issues
needing fixing using local files. I'd rather there were not an
extra 578 silly redirect files.
