Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: ToAruShiroiNeko () Assigned to: xqt (xqt) Summary: redirect.py logging of problems that cannot be fixed

Initial Comment: redirect.py needs to log issues it is unable to fix and why on each wiki. There are several flavors of problems that appears on Special:Doubleredirects

1. Self redirects (redirects that point to themselves) 2. Redirect loops (redirects that go in circles) 3. Double redirects formed due to page protection. 4. Inter-wiki redirects (redirects that point to redirects in other wikis)

It would be a lot easier if I had a log of these pages and user can post it on the village pump or perhaps bot can do this monthly for a select number of wikis. The code already provides a warning on the console but when you are running it on 700 wikis like me that becomes a serious chore to follow.

Message: They remain in Special:DoubleRedirects and must be fixed by hand or deleted by admins. It is easy to distinguish between multiple redirects and redirect loops and there is no need to explain it outside.

Message: How is keeping track of problems bots are unable to fix a duplication of Special:DoubleRedirect's?

You asked me to file this bug request after I explained the problem I was having to you.

Message: rejected. I do not see any sense for a list duplication of Special:DoubleRedirects

Message: 1. - 3. are all listed by Special:DoubleRedirects. They are remaining after the redirect bot cannot solve the problem. 4. Interwiki redirects normally are fixed be interwiki bots except there is a __STATICREDIRECT__ in the redirect page.
