Discussion
We already have bots doing this, like Xqbot. Special:DoubleRedirects is empty except for demonstration pages and userpages which the bot probably shouldn't be editing anyway (or in the case of the .js and .css pages, outright cannot). What's the point of having another bot? —  Earwig   talk 20:54, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Unnecessary, as we already have bots doing this, and the proposed operator does not seem to have much experience editing the English Wikipedia. If you really want to run a bot here, I suggest you spend several months here as a human editor to become familiar with our policies and guidelines that may differ from the other wikis with which you are more familiar. And come up with an idea that is actually needed here. Anomie⚔ 11:40, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
