It is not possible to distinguish, differentiate or filter redirects. They are often represented as "new pages".
Possible solution: add a legend ("↳") with a marker to denote the redirect.
.mw-redirect.mw-changeslist-title::before {
content: '↳';
}CSS suggestion from T177281#5322465:
.mw-tag-mw-new-redirect .mw-title:before, .mw-tag-mw-changed-redirect-target .mw-title:before { content: '↳'; }

You could have a filter group for disambiguation pages, regular pages, redirects. Also maybe combine with content model: wikitext, CSS, javascript, LUA, Flow, Wikidata.
There is a proposal to have MediaWiki tagging redirects: T73236: Automatically tag edits that make a redirect, or convert a redirected page to a normal page, or move a page across namespaces, etc.
This has now been implemented.
My best guess is that, while it's easy to identify whether a page is currently a redirect, it's hard to figure out whether a page was a redirect at the time of the edit. However, now that we have tags for edits that make a page into a redirect, or change a redirect's target, or change a redirect to a non-redirect, it would be possible to look for those tags and add a redirect symbol as this task proposes.

Specifically, there are now CSS classes that are added for every tag, so you could write a CSS rule for .mw-tag-mw-new-redirect and .mw-tag-mw-changed-redirect-target.
In practice, that would mean something like:
.mw-tag-mw-new-redirect .mw-title:before, .mw-tag-mw-changed-redirect-target .mw-title:before { content: '↳'; }
