Like Played For Laughs and Refuge In Audacity? You've got a systematic syntax error in them all. They should be in the format

#REDIRECT [[pagename]]

but your code, script or whatever is putting out

# redirect [[pagename]]

and it ends up being a page with a single line in a numbered list:

1. redirect pagename

I've been correcting them where I've noticed them up to now, but it just occurred to me that it might be something you have automated and it would be a good idea to let you know so you can fix it.

EDIT: Okay, not all of them. But some of them suffer from this.

Actually, in MW, either spelling of redirect works, and the numbered list format is entirely normal. If you notice a redirect that leads to another redirect, that's a double redirect, and that is a problem, but what you noticed is fine GethN7 (talk) 17:46, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
