  Well, the issue is they don't work because they're broken, and they're broken 
because they don't work!
  
  For clarity, https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Legoktm/T90978 does not 
redirect because the target (https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Legoktm) does 
not exist in traditional sense (page id == 0). Only #GlobalUserPage 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/globaluserpage/> knows that 
https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Legoktm magically exists. To make the 
redirect actually works, the extension has to let core know that the page 
exists, and it needs the hook in the above patch to do so.
  
  Once the redirect works, it will also disappear from Special:BrokenRedirect
  
  > It would be nice if we could get redirects to just work...
  
  That'd be done in #GlobalUserPage 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/globaluserpage/> in a separate patch. 
But that requires the above core change first.
