Discussion

Quick question: Will you be using the 'delete broken redirects' function of redirect.py, or just fixing broken double redirects? Richard⁰⁶¹² 13:18, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, the bot is just going to be fixing the double redirects. The Helpful One 13:26, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

In that case, Speedily Approved. Fixing double redirects is hardly difficult/controversial, and the pywikipedia code has been well tested. Richard⁰⁶¹² 13:32, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
