> 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 There are already approved bots, and this can be made via a global bot as "uncontroversial maitenance". > 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 True. But storing it at WikiData requires to re-run the single bot and reinspect all pages on all wikis regularly. Changing a "useful" page into a redirect or vice-versa is a common phenomenon on many wikis. No re-running the bot means badges gradually becoming wrong and inherently useless. Re-running the bot costs performance, and there will still be temporarily wrong badges. To sum it up, the magic word solution is superior to badges and bots maitaining them. In the namespace ZERO on wiktionaries, local interwiki links have been decommissioned in favor of automatic linking. Let's do the same with redirect badges.
