More concretely stated, I assume you mean the ability to make two articles that
look like totally different articles, but any edit to one is magically
duplicated to the other because they share the same revisions.  Marking WONTFIX
because this would be a lot of work to do, extremely confusing, and not very
useful.  It sounds like a solution in search of a problem.  BTW, hard linking
in Unix is a confusing hack that's rarely used for anything, and where it's
used (e.g., rsnapshot) it's usually inferior to copy-on-write or other
solutions that aren't as widely available.

(In reply to comment #2)
> 1. Avoid double redirects

That's not a useful goal by itself.  Just allowing double redirects would fix
this too.

> 2. Avoid some edit wars about naming an article

This is a technical solution to a social problem, so suspect to begin with.  At
a minimum, this isn't a valid reason unless we actually have community requests
and specific examples of where particular wikis would want to use this feature.

> 3. Avoid zh-hans/hant conversion problems better

Bugs in the conversion system should be fixed there, not via huge intrusive
core changes like this.
