--- Comment #9 from ipatrol <[email protected]> 2009-03-30 02:55:36 UTC --- (In reply to comment #8) > Regarding Comment #4: Triple-redirects are very rare ''because'' bots now fix > all double-redirects soon after they are created. Once double-redirects are > allowed, triple-redirects will no longer be rare. If we allowed > septuple-redirects, eventually we would start accumulating octuple-redirects. > Whatever level of redirection is allowed, we still need (a) a mechanism for > identifying those redirects that exceed the maximum level, and (b) a protocol > for fixing them. > We could continue the use of the double redirect bots, which will minimize disruption (as many bots fix double redirects as a side task) and triple redirects. On en.wp, the abuse filter could also be set to disallow moves or edits resulting in triple redirects, or possibly even both. I still think that as long as we aren't asking for the impractical, consensus and its occasionally twisted logic should be the guiding force. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
