Improve implementation of aliases

I just read this whole thread on “aliases”. Not quite understanding the nuances I had to test it.

Logseq v0.0.4.8-9 with Computer set as alias for Computers


Logseq does display both information about both Computer and Computers in either of their respective pages. But they are certainly separate pages.

I then compared against a big wiki such as Wikipedia …
Wikipedia have Computer set as alias/redirect from Computers
Computer - Wikipedia - is the main Computer page
Computer - Wikipedia - is Computers page aliased/redirected to Computer page
When redirected the Computer page has a header with link back to Computers page at
Computers - Wikipedia - where you can see the source with “#REDIRECT [[Computer]]” command and any additional info about the redirect.

Our current Logseq scheme can be closer to Wikipedia alias/redirect method, if when Computers page content is empty, Logseq automatically redirects and show Computer page, that already have a link back to Computers page, if user really wanted to edit that.
