Description

Self redirects should be prevented. A self redirect is when a page redirects to itself.

Example:

Page [[Foo]] containing the text

#REDIRECT [[Foo]]

This is often the result of typos.

Only for information, you can found them in [[Special:DoubleRedirects]].

Yes I know, that is the problem. They fill up Double Redirects when they aren't redirecting to anything. They can be avoided entirely.

Feel free to reclassify it. I do not know what covers "double redirects".
