:Got an article you can give as an example? This is expected behavior in the case of redirect chains: if article A redirects to B, and B redirects to C, going to A gets you to B but no further (thus preventing endless loops of redirects where A redirects to B to C to A to B to C to A to B to C to...) I've you've got one of these, please edit the articles in question and fix it so that all the redirect pages redirect to the actual page, rather than to other redirects.

::I was running into this problem with the article "prefix__morpheme", attempting to redirect it to the article [[prefix]] by typing in "#REDIRECT prefix". That generated an error, but changing it so that there were double square brackets around the word "prefix" makes it work fine. I had thought the square brackets were unnecessary, but apparently not. (FYI, [[Prefix__morpheme|Prefix  morpheme]] now points to [[Prefix morpheme]], though I may consolidate that with the [[Prefix]] article, since the former is a one-line stub. Thanks for helping me get that sorted out! (2002.05.15 [[user:pgdudda|pgdudda]])
