Clean-up of redirects/less links going via redirects on normal pages: Fix typo.

	Redirects are not a bad thing in themselves so we should not get rid of them completely (thus average priority). The aim is to rather clean up pages that link to a lot of redirects by using direct links to the right pages. This enforces the correct naming of pages, better overall style, and ~~eleminates~~ problems with translations due to them linking to the wrongly named pages, so the pages are created under the wrong name, so they have to be moved.

	A note on redirects such as Baum → Tree/de (a word in a language redirected to the right language page): These redirects are useful for searching in different languages than English. Without them, finding an item in a different language is significantly harder since the right name can only be found in the text of the page. However, directly linking to these redirects should be avoided since item names often change in translations.
