Thanks, should be fixed now. Should there be a MediaWiki function that prevents one from saving a #REDIRECT to the same topic? ;-)
Yes. I'd guess 1 in 100 times that happens it's experimental vandalism of the "Hehehe, I wonder what would happen if..." sort, and the other 99 times it's an embarrassing paste error by an at least somewhat serious editor.
I'd guess that about 5% of the times it happens it's some tremendously witty and clever person who's come up with the novel concept of redirecting [[Self-referential humor]] to itself.
