I too once thought the actual page is always supposed to be linked, but to think about it now, linking the redirect doesn't change things that much either since it still redirects to the actual page. Of course in cases like  if Charming was linked, the redirect is still linked, but the text can appear as Prince Charming if the separating | is used inside the double brackets. Personally, I think linking redirects like that is helpful in cases where people don't want to write out the whole page name when editing in a link.
