Discussion

 * Quick question: Will you be using the 'delete broken redirects' function of redirect.py, or just fixing broken double redirects?  Richard 0612  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, Fixing double redirects is hardly difficult/controversial, and the pywikipedia code has been well tested.  Richard  0612  13:32, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
