> We should redirect, like we do for initial lower-case letters.

Can we safely do that, though? A path /wiki/foo_(bar) is not equivalent to
/wiki/Foo_(bar), but /wiki/Foo_(bar) and /wiki/Foo_%28bar%29 are supposed to be
considered equivalent according to RFC 2616 section 3.2.3. Some client or proxy
somewhere might decide to always transform the former into the latter, and then
MediaWiki serving a redirect back to the former would result in a loop. Or the
client might decide that the redirect to an equivalent title is a loop and show
an error to the user.[1]
