The current protocol (creating new pages then redirecting to them) makes the wiki more vulnerable to broken redirects. Here's an example:

1. User:A renames to User:B 2. User Blog:A/Blog and all comments rename to User Blog:B/Blog 3. User:B deletes User Blog:B/Blog 4. User Blog:A/Blog becomes a broken redirect 5. User Blog:A/Blog is deleted 6. All comments under it become broken redirects

I went ahead and deleted hundreds of User Blog redirects and consequently created at least 1000 new broken redirects. Not only that, but I'm unsure whether the user deleted their own blog or I caused an error that forcibly deleted their blog since the page is missing and I can't go into the history of a deleted user blog
