The software will not follow chains of more than one redirect (see [[FamilySearch Wiki:Double redirects|Double redirects]]). A redirect should not be left pointing to another redirect page. | |||
Double redirects often arise after a page is [[Help:Moving a page|moved]] (renamed) – after moving a page, check whether there are any redirects to the old title (using the link on the move result page, or using [[Help:What links here|"What links here"]]), and change them to redirect straight to the new title. (Double redirects are anyway normally fixed by a [[Help:Bot|bot]] after some time.) | |||
