I'm finding myself doing that too.  But we've also more than doubled
(maybe tripled) the amount of articles we've had since I started editing,
so the ones I'm redlinking that aren't associated directly with the
subject I'm editing are more than likely ones without redirects to the
proper article.  In fact, the only redlink I came across recently that I
personally created that shocked me was [[medical reels]].  Nothing on
medical films, educational medical movies, etc.  Otherwise, it's redirect
city.
