Frankly, I don't see what the "(Ultimate)

is all about. You want to keep old links working, but not use #REDIRECTs
for bad spelling?
Why not introduce #MISPEELING ? (or a variant ;-)
That would function like a redirect, with the exception that the
destination page will, additonally, say on the very first line
"You looked for the word or phrase WRONSPELLING. We believe you
might mean GOODSPELLING (this page), of which WRONGSPELLING is a
misspelled form."
Am I missing some intricate problem here?

Hoi,
I am afraid you miss the point. At issue is the big muddle that are the
current en.wiktionary redirects. Where you can find technical redirects
and the redirects because of an implied meaning (linkt to correct
spelling, link to a headword etc)
The Ultimate Wiktionary will not have redirects the reason being that it
starts from nothing and all removals will be done as per the policies of
the project. This is true for any project anyway. Articles are removed
when this is decided upon.
Thanks,
Gerard
