+== About external redirects ==
+
+External redirects are not supported by MediaWiki; they could pose issues, since if WiiBrew had a page redirecting to WiiUBrew, and that same WiiUBrew page redirected to the original WiiBrew page, the server would be overloaded with requests. This can normally be prevented by anti-double-redirect mechanisms, but those don’t work if the redirect goes to the outside.
+
+Instead, just directly link the whole WiiBrew URL. Yes I know, interwikis would be nice. [[User:Hallowizer2|Hallowizer2]] ([[User talk:Hallowizer2|talk]]) 02:07, 16 December 2021 (CET)
