Redirects don't often go bad, so it's rare that you have to change one (except for double redirects, as described in the next section).

A soft redirect is a replacement for the usual "hard" redirect and is used where the destination is a Wikimedia sister project (see Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects § Soft redirects from Wikipedia to a sister project), another language Wikimedia site, or in rare cases another website (e.g. meatball: targets).
A redirect is a special type of page that automatically causes another page to be displayed in its place. The displayed page is called a redirect target. A redirect that points to another redirect is called a double redirect. These pages are unwanted, because Wikipedia's MediaWiki software is currently configured to not follow the second redirect.
