Redirect.py is a script that allows you to easily manage the redirect pages on a wiki. With this script, you can fix double redirects or delete broken redirects. Obviously, admin powers are required for the deletion function.
Command line examples
When using this script to delete broken redirects, use the following command:
python redirect.py broken
When using this script to fix double redirects, instead use this command:
python redirect.py double
- Note: Identifying the action is important; if you do not state broken or double, redirect.py will do nothing.
