Double redirects are when a link on page A goes to redirect page B, which goes to redirect page C, which points to page D. In that case, when you click the link on page A, the Wikipedia software will display the redirect page C; which isn't what the reader needs. The link on page A or the redirect on page B needs to be changed.
xombrero was designed for experienced command-line interface users, so it includes the features typically requested by such an audience: mouseless browsing, no URL prefetch, vi-like user interface and navigation (including command mode), plain text file configuration, and link hinting.
On Wikipedia, renaming might refer to: Moving a page to a different name; most users can do this, via the Move tab (you must be autoconfirmed to have a Move tab) If you can't do this on a page you wish to move (note that some pages are move-protected ), you can make a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves .
For links within list items, it is sometimes more appropriate to remove the list item rather than unlinking it, depending on the list's selection criteria.

There is also a wizard that less experienced editors can use to create a redirect. A redirect page can be created like any other page (see Creating a new page). Simply type in the wikitext #REDIRECT [[xxx]], replacing "xxx" with the title of the target page (optionally followed by a "#" sign and the section title).
These redirects are used to avoid breaking links, internal and external, that may have been made to the old page titles. The rcat used to tag redirects and populate this category, {{R from move}}, is automatically added to a redirect that results from a page move/rename. Older redirects from page moves may still need to be tagged manually.
The terms "rename" and "move" mean the same thing in this context. They just refer to different models for picturing the operation: rename: keep the page but give it another name; the page history is now attached to the new name; a new page with the old name is created which redirects to the new name and whose page history records the renaming.
To do this, scroll to the bottom of this article and click the 'desktop view ' link. If the article already exists, creating a redirect from that title will remove the existing article, which is usually a bad idea. The article may also exist already as a redirect. If the article doesn't exist already, you'll see the following text:
