We have a few 1000 redirects, where around half are related to the user namespaces. Within these I do believe there are lot of unused redirects. In addition it seems like there has been used redirects to correct stuff like "BIrch wood" -> "Birch Wood" (or similar). This generates a lot of unused redirects.

I'm wondering if not the rename command automatically generates a redirect from the old name. So if some page is created with wrong spelling, and then renamed shortly after it would generate an unused redirect.
