The version in Main exists as a convenience for when people screw up and don't use the correct namespace and to preserve inbound links that predate the use of namespaces. Adding links to the wrong spot is a bad habit to be in.

Hey, I got it right for once. So we enforce it regardless of them going to the same page so that for other works, say The Dark Knight Returns and The Dark Knight Returns for example, we get into the habit of writing using the proper tag for cases where it doesn't? Sounds reasonable.

Yep, fight bad habits, teach by example. Hit the nail right on the head.

Rhymes with "Protracted."
