Chained redirects (also known as 'double redirects') will <u>not</u> function automatically. The first redirect will execute correctly, in that at will open the first redirected page, but any subsequent redirects will not be carried out – the process stops after the one initial step. This next displayed page, containing another redirect, is merely shown as a link; the user must then click on that 'redirect' link to follow the chain to the ultimate target page. Therefore, each redirect should be constructed to point directly to the proper ultimate target page (see also the list at [[Special: DoubleRedirects]] — pitch in and help us get these cleaned up). | Chained redirects (also known as 'double redirects') will <u>not</u> function automatically.
