Summary: Allow double redirects
Product: MediaWiki

OS/Version: All

Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Redirects

Thisis something going around on the English Wikipedia. The whole idea is that
the problem of fixing double redirects is so cumbersome that we would rather
just allow them to go through. The required fix is simple: just change
$wgMaxRedirects=1 to $wgMaxRedirects=2 in the settings file. The protection was
put in place to prevent infinite loops, but this change will still prevent
them, two redirs going to each other would only go to the first redirect.
Triple redirects are so rare they shouldn't be a problem.
