==Double Redirectsredirects==A ''Double Redirectredirect'' is a ''Redirect'' sending the reader to yet another ''Redirect''. Such constructions should be avoided at all costs and replaced by "normal" Redirects that point directly to the intended target page. The reason for this is simple: the Mediawiki software used by the ''Lexicanum'' does not support this. Or in other words: It will not send you further than to the first target pages (which only displays a ''redirect'' instruction, see screenshot below).

In this concrete ''Double Redirectredirect'' example there is a ''Redirect'' from [[Administrator]] to [[Administratum]] that in turn redirects to [[Adeptus Administratum]]. A reader entering "Administrator" into the search box or clicking on the link [[Administrator]] gets stuck on the page [[Administratum]] instead of ending up on the page [[Adeptus Administratum]] as intended. Therefore the ''Redirect'' on the page [[Administrator]] would have to be fixed to point directly to [[Adeptus Administratum]] instead of to [[Administratum]] as in this example.
An automatically generated list of ''Double Redirectsredirects'' that need fixing is available [[Special:DoubleRedirects|here]]. The reasons for the existence of such ''Double Redirectsredirects'' most often are unforeseen consequences of a [[Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum:Move|page move]].
