--- Comment #4 from Rd232 <[email protected]> 2012-02-28 18:06:22 UTC ---
Quoting myself from Bug #29286:

Similar to bug #12363 (which covers userspace moves into mainspace), in that
both are loopholes in the coverage of Special:Newpages. Redirects converted
into articles do not show up as needing to be patrolled. Yet such pages are in
some cases particularly likely to need patrolling, since in some cases a
decision has already been made that an article is not warranted.

I mention this because comment #1 talks about existing articles being moved out
of the way, and the resulting redirect then converted into an article. The case
I was considering was existing redirects later being converted by someone else.
The same solution will presumably apply to both, but it is a different
scenario, and I think an additional motivation for addressing this bug.
