Unlike Special:DoubleRedirects when a double redirect is fixed it dissapears from the list, while when a Special:BrokenRedirects is fixed it stays on the list. Requesting patch to bring Special:BrokenRedirects up to date.
Report pages are cached; this is updated on a periodic basis.
The double redirects fixes immediately though, even though that is cached!
Rob Church what are you taking? Steroids? Explain this: how come when someone fixes a Special:DoubleRedirects, (which is cached; and updated on a periodic basis), disappears from the list, while Special:BrokenRedirects doesnt? I am proceeding with opening this bug again.
Oh and Rob Church, I am going to assign you this bug. Because you need to Learn how the wiki software works! Lets see you create a patch for this.
web boy I hope you dont mind adding you to the cc. list, because of you amazing talent to create patches, just in case Rob Church, doesn't come through for Wikipedia!
The Special:BrokenRedirects report is run at a certain time. It is *not* in real time, because doing so would be a huge drag on resources. It may be done later, when resources permit; however, there is nothing actually wrong with the software. Now, please do not reopen this bug unless you're acting under the directions of a developer, or unless you are one.
I guess you mean the fact the double redirects disappear from the list when fixed or deleted, while it is not done in the broken redirects page. In fact, it *is* done for the broken redirects, but they don't disappear but get the HTML <s></s> tags. If you see a link to a page that is not exist instead, it may be Bug 7890.
