Within the last couple of days I created a redirect to the non-existent page
[[Kervaire–Milnor formula]].  Contrary to what Aaron Schulz and others
suggest, I could not reasonably have created a stub.

In the interests of morality we must remember that the present apparent policy
forbidding pre-emptive redirects was not created by proper discussion and
consensus, but by person who avoided the usual discussion pages and denied the
existence of people who disagreed with them.

It is clear that despite the injustice of the situation, we cannot have any
policy discussion aimed at abolishing the prohibition against pre-emptive
redirects until this bug is fixed.

Keeping this bug unrepaired and closing this ticket are abusive ways of
preventing that policy discussion from happening.

In recent hours I have written to Brion Vibber about this.
