- How can the users (not sysadmins) of a given wiki determine what the
value of $wgMaxRedirects is for their wiki? In particular, what value
is
being used currently on enwiki and other WMF projects?
The defaults for every setting are available for viewing on Mediawiki.org For this setting, the default appears to be 1, meaning that we keep long- standing behavior for the default. As for seeing your current settings, you can check out the configuration files at [1].
Hmm. Enwiki currently seems to be following double-redirects notwithstanding this setting. I am aware that the initial implementation of this fix contained some bugs that (we hope) will be fixed in the next software update, so probably best to wait until after that update is done before worrying further.

There were some regressions, but I believe they've been fixed.
