[[Special:DoubleRedirects]] not working properly
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: jylee

Description:
I know it's cached data, but it fails to display correctly, and some of the list
is incorrect. When I ran a bot on this data, it changed links that it shouldn't
have, since I was assuming the data was relible. Furthermore, it is suppose to
remove links its fixed, but it is doing some weird things.

When you view [[en:Special:DoubleRedirects]] there is nothing there. When you
view it
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:DoubleRedirects&limit=500&offset=0
with a limit of 500 and an offset 0, something shows up. What's more strange is
that at an offset of 500, you more pages.

The following errors were spotted:

[[Vo Vi Nam]] was a proper redirect, but it somehow was suggested to point to
[[DAO]].

At this point, it appears that the list on enwiki has been completely cleared -
i.e., everything fixed

I updated double redirects special page on enwiki.
