We have the same issues with templates: protected templates may be accessed via unprotected redirects, and those redirects may be vandalized. Also, templates may be moved twice, which will create double redirects. Have anyone *ever* complained about template redirects and recommended everyone to avoid them? I can hardly believe they do, though they have all those issues. So: 1) Protect critical redirects 2) Run double redirect fixing bots. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
