Double redirects

This was moved from User Talk:Triddle#Double redirects

Triddle, I'm running into LOTS of false positives on the double redirects. It's about half of the ones I've run into. What should we do about it? Just ignore them or should we note them somewhere? --Woohookitty 04:57, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yup, I think you need to rethink. Most of what I've seen are links to plain single redirect pages - e.g. look at this: [1] - you are marking four innocuous redirect pages, and failing to mark all the pages under Chibi-Usa (redirect page) which are in fact the double redirects. Suggest you remove the project from the active fixup template until you've reconsidered it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

I don't quite follow, perhaps you can explain where I'm going wrong? I checked 20 examples from one of the reports and in all cases each of the false positives had really just been fixed by someone else in between the time the last dump was taken (over a month) and now. I also don't see the problem with Chibi-Usa. Maybe you can show me the double redirect chain you are referring to? Triddle 18:06, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)

That's just the problem. Nothing I've clicked on, so far, in the list, takes me to a double redirect. Ah no. I just found one which is your genuine double redirect. I guess all the others were fixed sometime between the 16th & now. Roll on more regular dumps. Meanwhile, should you be bored, there are loads of links to redirect pages, which I suppose we ought to get around to fixing, too. Carry on! --Tagishsimon (talk)

Can I report double redirects here?

How can I force your bot to fix them?Yeago 17:53, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
