Redirect cards exist to preserve wikilink integrity, not to inform

Atom · refreshed Search related

In a personal knowledge management system, a redirect note carries zero informational content but serves a structural purpose: it catches broken links when a canonical location moves. Recognizing this distinction prevents readers from treating stubs as authoritative and forces authors to keep redirects honest. The discipline is treating wikilinks as a graph you must maintain, not as decorative cross-references.
