  I agree with all four. Bottom right is indeed the complicated one; therein, 
the untouched sitelink is now a redirect and it points to a target that might 
not be very useful content-wise (as the page would not have been moved 
otherwise). Yet, I think the software should reliably manage that only 
**existing pages** are connected, not necessarily only **useful pages**.
  
  Once redirects are being permitted as regular sitelinks (without that ugly 
hack), we could also look into ways to add the already available redirect 
badges to those sitelinks. This would make the outcome much more managable for 
the community which then could decide whether the remaining redirect sitelink 
is actually useful, and not just existing.
