History Administrivia / CircularRedirect

Administrivia/RedirectsAreFree... except this kind.

A circular redirect is created by making a page redirect to itself, or to a page that redirects to itself, or making two pages redirect to each other... you get the gist. '''Please don't do this.''' In theory, this would cause an infinite loop and possibly ExplosiveOverclocking or a RealityBreakingParadox. In practice, modern browsers are generally smart enough to catch such nonsense and put the brakes on, but it will still lead the poor user to a browser error page. If you find one, fix them by entering the link https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/wysiwyg_source_editor.php?groupname=Namespace&title=Title&load=source with the namespace and title replacing "Namespace" and "Title" in the link to access the editor, as you cannot access the page's "Edit" button directly.
