(Replying again, but to the whole list)
Hi xqt,
Here <https://ast.wiktionary.org/wiki/Especial:RedireccionesRotas> is
an example. Those users were renamed, so they have user page
redirects. The user pages of the new username are displayed via
GlobalUserpage. In theory the page does not exist locally, so the
system list it in Special:BrokenRedirects; but the page do exist
indeed, and bots edit it <https://es.wikipedia.org/?diff=93129785>.
Maybe we should fix Special:Double/Brokenredirects instead?
Best regards, M.
(PS.: I've reported <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T144048>)

Hi,
redirect.py doesn't support any namespace filtering and you'll get a warning
"unknown argument -ns" when you try it.
On the other hand I didn't find any wrong broken redirects from transcluded sites.
Could you give an example?
Regards
xqt
