gollark: Admittedly this is not incredibly *useful* in that it doesn't really open any previously nonexistent possibilities, but people asked for redirects so I assume they do want this, and it wasn't hard to add.

gollark: Well, you might want to put a link to the page "Bees" in the middle of a sentence saying something like "the best kind of bee is an apiaristic bee". But `the best kind of [[bees|bee]] is an apiaristic bee` looks slightly bad. So if you give the "Bees" page the name "Bee" too, it looks nicer.
gollark: (it should be simple enough using the existing fuzzy search infrastructure)
