So your concern, the problem with these "approximate" links as you see it, lest I get it backwards, is about the easily confused wikipedia readers?

( in this problematic 'musical instrument / player' linked redirect example, would it be a dane who checks the dawiki:flĂžjtenist, then clicks a Q12902372 enwiki:flautist link into en.wikipedia and lands on enwiki:flute article, then reads through the intro to the second paragraph "A musician who plays the flute can be referred to as a flute player, flautist, flutist...", and then somehow reaches into wiktionary:tool and reads bottom-up? or worse yet, scrolls down the en:flute page and hits the template:flutes, yeah that'd be harsh. :)

I don't see a real 'confusion' problem in there.

How to select linkworthy redirects among, potentially, a multitude of them or how to automate this task, I can see a problem here, but may be there is a solution already?

Thanks again.
