New Comment:
I believe you've misinterpreted the use of the word "dummy" here: it's in the
adjective meaning of "placeholder", not the vaguely insulting noun form.

---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.delete#refsect1-function.delete-description
---
This documentation entry has wording that could be considered judegemental and/or insulting. It is
unnecessary to state the the entry for delete is a 'dummy' entry to 'satisfy'
those looking the 'wrong' place. The wording for this entry is very condescending and has
no place in technical documentation.
A simple statement that the page has been redirected from another is all that is needed. A good
example of how this kind of thing should be done can be found at Wikipedia.com.
