Community Wishlist/Wishes/Remove limits from Special:ListRedirects or introduce a dedicated namespace for redirects
Description
Redirects exist across all namespaces in our wiki projects, yet there is no built-in way to list them comprehensively for large-scale review or management. Special:ListRedirects is restricted to displaying only 500 or 5000 entries, depending on user privileges, which is insufficient even for smaller wikis, where redirects often number well beyond these limits. A dedicated namespace for redirects would make handling them significantly easier, both manually and with automated tools or bots. If that is not considered a viable solution, an alternative improvement would be to remove the current limitations on Special:ListRedirects, allowing users to access a complete list when necessary. A relevant discussion highlighting this need can be found here.
