There is a final, perhaps more important, reason not to fix many redirects: The redirect page might be about another but related topic from the one redirected to, and someone might want to create the page in the future; such a page is a redirect with possibilities. When such a page is created, "fixed" redirects will point to an incorrect (or ...
Double redirects are easily and automatically fixed by bots, and most are fixed within a few days of creation. Because of this, human editors would be best-off putting their time on other tasks that cannot be automated. However, bots cannot fix a double redirect if the redirect page is fully protected. The following bots fix double redirects:
If Java scripting is disabled, many websites, including AOL Mail, won't work properly. Disable firewall or pop-up settings If you use a firewall and are getting a blank page when trying to access AOL Mail, you may need to disable your pop-up blocking software or add AOL to your allowlist.

Chains of redirects are not followed. If title A redirects to B, and B is itself a redirect page, then a reader navigating to A will see the display of the redirect page B (as illustrated). See Double redirects. (Bots fix such chains so that each redirect points directly to the final target page.)

These should be avoided or replaced with a {{soft redirect}} template. Soft redirects are also used in category space (using the {{category redirect}} template). Redirects from list titles to categories (e.g. a ...
