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