No, I'm not.  If the user goes to a page that doesn't exist, check for
similar-looking page names, and if you find a plausible match do a redirect. 
You'd probably want to make it like a normal redirect, not an HTTP redirect,
because otherwise you'd have trouble creating the page if you want it to
contain something different.

What's wrong with this approach?  Specifically, given that there's no way to
stop these bogus autolinks from existing, do you have a solution with a better
cost/benefit ratio?  On a website I run, I noticed a lot of 404s were due to
bogus trailing punctuation (the opposite problem to the one seen here).
