While I can concur that we may need to have different items to link to
single members of a family, because of $good_reason, I do not see any
good reason to have redirects in those items, because of the example
that Nikola made:

2014-10-22 19:04 GMT+02:00 Smolenski Nikola <smole...@eunet.rs>:
> Q(Coat of Arms of Novi Sad) -> Coat of Arms of Novi Sad -> Novi Sad
> Q(something) -> Coat of arms of Novi Sad -> Novi Sad
> Q(something) -> Coat of arms of novi sad -> Novi Sad

We *can* have different items with no links if this fulfils practical
needs, it's in [[WD:N]] since the beginning of the project (more or
less).
