:If users want to see a [[crash]] page, they can thanks to me. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 16:23, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

:It works by the way interlanguage travel works. This redirect redirects to :en:Crash, and interlanguage travel travels to this site ignoring instructions like &redirect=no. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 16:38, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

::[[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]], on a different note, having ?redirect=no seems to work for me. [https://en.xen.wiki/w/Crash?redirect=no See here.] [[User:Battaglia01|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Battaglia01|talk]]) 15:39, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

::OK. This is a MediaWiki bug and there is very little we can do about it other than to deliberately get rid of such circular redirects if they arise. We don't want a page that intentionally crashes people's browsers, and would like to get rid of this.

:::It's a hard redirect. [[Wiki help#Redirects]] now shows the MediaWiki code for a hard redirect. It is important for compatibility of the migration, where double redirects were hard redirects, and thanks to this feature bug we can have hard redirects in the migration, although they aren't coded into the FREEZE engine. [[2 1]] is now a hard redirect to [[2/1]], which is a regular redirect to [[Octave]]. Similarly with [[531441 524288]].

:::::The FREEZE engine turned Wikispaces' hard redirects into MediaWiki's regular redirects, not hard redirects. And that page about redirects is not mine, it was from [http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/wiki+help#x-Using%20links-Redirects xenharmonic.wikispaces.com] but I added regular redirects as a third redirect type as MediaWiki has it. The [[Crash]] page is, as I said, for users that want a [[crash]] page! [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 15:28, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

::::::OK, we'll just leave the Crash page - I didn't realize you were using it page as part of your demonstration on circular redirects. But this seems to be the same type of redirect as the other redirects -- it uses <code>#REDIRECT</code>. I think that's what you're calling "hard".
