Updates for this page are currently disabled. Request Urgent Update. Please. Thank you.
And we can click next even though there is nothing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:DoubleRedirects
Tim turned it off for load reasons. Maybe if it's made more efficient it could be turned back on. Shouldn't this be rewritten using the new redirects table? Would that make it faster?
Moez Roy is correct. This needs to be re-enabled ASAP.
(In reply to comment #3) > This needs to be re-enabled ASAP. It will be re-enabled when it's been rewritten to be more efficient and not kill our database servers. Or would you rather all the sites were horribly slow and the data was nasty and inconsistent and generally fubared?
(Changing product to MediaWiki, since it's a software issue if we have to rewrite it)
Actually, I would rather the site be horribly slow for a couple of minutes every 30 days if it updated.

That was not a smart-ass comment, nor was it intended to be sarcastic, rude, or unhelpful, and I'm very sorry if it came off that way. I was simply saying that I consider this page extremely important, and would rather have the site be slow for a couple of minutes every 30 days than have this non-updating. :-)
If it were a matter of a couple of minutes every 30 days, it probably wouldn't be shut off. Please do not post anything here that doesn't contribute to a technical solution. Vote for the bug, and if you must grumble please do so on VPT or somewhere. Thank you.
"If it were a matter of a couple of minutes every 30 days, it probably wouldn't be shut off." Could Tim give his actual reasoning for turning off?

Created attachment 3189 [details] New patch for SpecialDoubleRedirects.php and SpecialBrokenRedirects.php Updated patch
Broken redirects seems to be functional again as of 07:25 February 4th, but Double redirects is not updating still.
Can some one test this Patch so RobChurch or Brion can implement it into en.wikipedia.org?
Patch appears to work.
Hurray, now implement it into en.wikipedia.org. Please.
1. It is rude to add others to the CC-list for a bug without their permission. 2. Assuming you or one of your colleagues was the person attempting to flag me down in IRC earlier; that is obnoxious and unacceptable behaviour. 3. The patch will be applied when someone has time to do it.
"The patch will be applied when someone has time to do it." Who would that someone be?
Patch implemented in r20071
