This project is sponsored by WikiProject help desk

This is a list of double redirects as of the Jun 23, 2005 database dump. Thank you for showing an interest in helping; please read this before continuing. To contribute follow one of the links below and sign your name in a section. Each page is split into 25 sections and each section has 20 redirects. If you run into any false positives you can simply ignore them. When you are done with a section, please remove it.

Tips on fixing double-redirects

From Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax

• If the link goes to a redirect page with a blue link, which when clicked gives a page that says at the top "Redirected from (somepage)", then it is a double-redirect. A double redirect is when page A redirects to page B, which then redirects to page C. The Wikipedia only properly supports one level of redirects. To fix this, page A (the first redirect page) should be edited to point to page C (the final page), instead of another redirect (page B) - and then please delete it from the list.
• Otherwise, if the link on the redirect page works correctly (i.e. shows the article, without saying "Redirected from (somepage)"), and is syntaxed correctly, then it has already been fixed - you can just ignore it.
• To help others find this project, consider signing your edits with something like: ([[Wikipedia:WikiProject help desk/cleanup/double redirects/20050623-1|You can help!]]).

Further instructions are in each individual section. Thanks again for your consideration.
