Double redirects

There's no need for you to fix double redirects, since BulbaBot does that once every day. Plus, when BulbaBot does it, then it doesn't clog the Recent Changes, since that's marked as a bot edit, which is hidden by default. Furthermore, while changing the redirect target is a tagged action, there is currently no way to exclude edits with given tags from the RCs. --C.Ezra.M (talk | contribs) 16:24, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Gotcha. Thank you for the information! Cipher (talk) 16:28, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
Given that some of those redirects existed since July, I think you found that BulbaBot must be broken here. Thank you for cleaning up those double redirects! While we do want to make sure that our Recent Changes tool remains viable, there are options to take it to 1000+, so as long as wiki maintenance tasks remain well below that limit at a single time, there shouldn't be a problem. There was no issue with what you did here. MaverickNate 23:17, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
