A note on links and redirects. An issue that makes people think redirects are broken, is double redirects, but they are usually easy to fix.

If there are three or more titles for the same subject: say Abby, Councilwoman Abigail Griffin, and Abigail Griffin, then you might end up with double redirects (I.E. if "Abby" redirects to "Councilwoman Abigail Griffin" which redirects to "Abigail Griffin"). MediaWiki software does not follow such double redirects. The fix is to make "Abby" also redirect to "Abigail Griffin", making the incorrect double redirect into one of two or more correct single redirects.
