How about Special:RedirectChains. It might be useful to add an input box so you can specify a length to report on (e.g. entering 1 gives you all double-redirects, as current, entering a higher number restricts it to longer chains). It should, of course, default to the value of $wgMaxRedirects, and if set to another value indicate what the default is. I don't know how useful that would be, but I'm sure there are some uses, for example if you have had $wgMaxRedirects set to a high number but the server load is too great, and so you want to reduce it. This would allow you to find all affected redirects and fix them before you make the change to the setting. - Mark Clements (HappyDog) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
