Hi,
Perhaps, when doing moves, there could be a checkbox which would
automatically fix any double-redirects which would arise as a result of
the move?
This would save time, as the person doing the move wouldn't have to go
through all the redirects created and update them, as the software could
automatically do that, attributing it to the person who did the move.
What are people's thoughts on this?
Chris
I can think of some cases where this would *not* work, eg. when pages
are rearranged to create primary disambiguation pages, not only are
redirects needed but disambiguation as well. We have Wikiprojects to
deal with both of these; finding and fixing double redirects (and links
to disambiguation pages) is something that is best left in the hands of
human editors, because software can get it wrong.
