Reason for doing this: I noticed when clearing Category:Broken category redirects that a lot of things in there were double redirects. Although I fixed those manually, it would be better for a bot to. —Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:52, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- I think it's fine to use script proven in other project. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:44, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
- Template:Category redirect/doc says the namespace should not be included. RZuo (talk) 18:03, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
- @RZuo I'm not sure why it says that, but I fixed the code to do so. Example edit here. —Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 03:17, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
