Description Addshore 2014-08-06 09:44:37 UTC
As far as I can tell double redirects are not a good thing in wikidata (after a discussion with daniel)

I.e. if A redirects to B which redirects to C then A will break / not recirect through the whole chain.

When redirects are created there should be some form of check / automated action fixing double redirects that would be created.

- If I try to create a redirect to an item that is already a redirect, point to the target at the end of the chain instead.
- If I  turn an item into a redirect that has another redirect pointing toward it already, change that redirect to point to the new target
