See Id8662270 for an implementation of redlink=1 redirecting to
Special:CreateItem

However, I have given my own patch a -1 because while it's fine for the
intended use case, it has some nasty side effects for other situations where
redlinks may appear, especially in wikitext on talk pages:

An admin may want to follow the red link in order to restore the item. This
would now be quite tricky to do, because we lose the information what the
original item ID was, and Special:CreateItem does not have a "show deleted
revisions" or "browse related logs" feature.

First of all, we should show these things on pages of deleted items ("search
logs" for everyone, "deleted revisions" to groups that can undelete).

We should also show this on Special:CreateItem, if an "original Item ID" is
passed as a URL parameter. Or, alternatively, don't redirect to
Special:CreateItem, but instead embed Special:CreateItem on the "item doesn't
exist" page.

I'm not sure which option I like better, it seems this needs more
though/discussion.
