WikiIndex:Redirect: Difference between revisions

Chained redirects (also known as 'DoubleRedirects') will not function automatically.  The first redirect will execute correctly, but any subsequent redirects - the process stops after one step.  The next page, containing another redirect, is shown as a link.  The user must click on the link to follow the chain.  So, 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).

:I can do that automatically with a [[:Category:User Bot|bot]] script, so we never need to worry about it. &mdash;&nbsp;<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC, Arial;">[[User:Sean Fennel]][[User talk:Sean Fennel|@]]</span> 16:00, 6 February 2007 (PST)

For an example of a properly-done redirect, see [[wikiinfo]].  That mis-spelling takes you to the (properly-spelled) "Wikinfo.org" page, with a tiny note "(Redirected from Wikiinfo)".
