1 The [[plugins/recentchanges]] plugin has a `do=recentchanges_link` feature that will
2 redirect to a given wiki page, or an error page with a creation link.
4 In the [[plugins/contrib/comments]] plugin I've found that it would be useful to do
5 the same for users. For now I've just cloned the functionality into the comments
6 plugin, but perhaps this functionality could be renamed to `do=goto` or
7 something, and moved to `IkiWiki/CGI.pm`?
