Description Addshore 2014-08-06 09:35:57 UTC 
Using the delete reasons in the delete log we can determine where roughly half of all deleted items should redirect to.
It would be great to be able to add these redirects.

To do this we would need to be able to create a redirect over a deleted item, one should also be able to create a redirect over an empty item!
Comment 1 Lydia Pintscher 2014-08-18 15:43:09 UTC 
Realistically it is easier to undelete the item and turn it into a redirect I fear before we get to this.
Comment 2 Addshore 2014-08-18 21:12:51 UTC 
Many items can not be undeleted as they will have conflicting descriptions and labels or sitelinks
