Can someone help me build a JavaScript or something to find out how many redirect pages a given Wiki site has? --Steinninn 23:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- Just go to Special:Listredirects and go to the last page. The last number will be the total number of redirects there are. Even though interwiki ones which don't do anything are listed to. ~Dantman(talk) tricks May 6, 2007 @ 23:45 (UTC)
- Thanks! Though it would be nice to have a Magic Word have an automatical update on my home page. Wait, there seems to be a bug or something. It only shows up to a 1000 redirect links. I tried a number of different wiki and wikipedia pages and the had a different way of coping with it. The only one that went over a thousand links was is.wikipedia.org. Any ideas? --Steinninn 23:56, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- You'll half to ask one of the Staffers to tell the techs to bump up the limit on that specialpage. ~Dantman(talk) tricks May 7, 2007 @ 00:32 (UTC)
- Or revise certain redirects to see if they are still needed and just leave the ones that may be really necessary, as many redirects are created by sometimes lazy user that want shorter, or miss spelled pages to redirect to the correct one, and pages moves that they should be deleted after certain time according to their traffic... unless its a high record wiki =S --Cizagna (Talk) 04:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
