An habit that probably I shouldn't carry over to wikis other than the ones I know best.

Well, you may be aware that wikis have something called "redirects" - pages whose only content is an instruction to load a main page, the one with the real content. When a main page is deleted, a redirect may be left dangling with nothing to point to - that's called a "broken redirect" and is listed in an appropriate page in a wiki.

I fail to see any reason for their existence, and mark them for deletion, even in cases where it is not necessarily appropriate - I don't understand why, but some editors on some wikis like having them around.
