Consider the Redirect: a Missing Dimension of Wikipedia Research - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2014, written by Benjamin Mako Hill and Aaron D. Shaw.

Overview

Redirects are special pages in wikis that silently transport visitors to other pages. Although redirects make up a majority of all article pages in English Wikipedia, they have attracted very little attention and are rarely taken into account by researchers. This note describes redirects and illustrates why they play an important role in shaping activity in Wikipedia. Authors also present a novel longitudinal dataset of redirects for English Wikipedia and the software used to produce it. Using this dataset, authors revisit several important published findings about Wikipedia to show that accounting for redirects can have important effects on research.
