--- Comment #2 from Addshore <[email protected]> ---
I agree with everything that has been said in the comment above.

Being able to redirect items would greatly reduce the work of admins having to
delete items that have been merged, the user right mentioned above could be
assigned to a group of people that have proven they know how to merge items
without losing any data.

This feature would make it allot easier for external sites to use data on
wikidata, the risk of an item 'moving' from one unique id to another would be
reduced.

Also once this is implemented it would be great to go back through every
deleted item and try to 'redirect' as many as possible to their new locations.
Many deletions currently include a link to the new / merged item in the
summary. I will try to write a script to do some analysis of this.
