I agree that the feature should be implemented as laid out in the introduction. The badges within Wikidata are useful for addressing the concerns of those who opposed allowing site links to redirect in the RFC. They make it visible within Wikidata whether an item is linked to proper Wikipedia pages which matters for notability. After a bot adds sitelink to redirect (Q70893996) to all existing redirects without badges, we can list those via SPARQL queries and can either remove the link when they aren't pointing to valid redirects or change them to intentional sitelink to redirect (Q70894304)). Adding Wikidata badges in Wikidata via a bot needs one bot approval within Wikidata. Adding a magic word to existing redirects would require a bot request on every Wikimedia project. The magic word solution also has the problem that if the information about the nature of the links is not stored in Wikidata requests to Wikipedia have to be made whenever a Wikidata page with sitelinks is loaded. Increasing the number of requests that have to be done when a Wikidata page is loaded is bad for performance.
