We can put {{delete}} on a page we don't want, and that adds the page to the
'Candidates for deletion' category.

I've done that on a couple of redirect pages lately, and the result is very
confusing.

Consider page "Delete word before cursor" shown at:
 http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Candidates_for_deletion

If you click the link you end up at the TARGET of a redirect, and that
target is NOT to be deleted.

The observant can see that the target does not have the "This page is a
candidate for deletion" box, and is not in Category:Candidates_for_deletion.
Also, there is a "(Redirected from Delete word before cursor)" message at
the top. But it is confusing.

I wondering:

* Should I put {{delete}} on an unwanted redirect page, or should I just
delete it?

* Is there some way to get Category:Candidates_for_deletion to add
"&redirect=no" to a link when it is to a redirect?
