 When a page is moved, a redirect is automatically left behind, pointing to the new page. If the original page has redirects, this will create [[Special:DoubleRedirects|double redirects]]: a redirect to a redirect. To solve this, redirects to the original page need to be pointed to the new page.
-It may also be the case that a redirect does not need left behind. This may occur if the article's original title is inappropriate or if the redirect would be unuseful. In this case, a [[Template:D|speedy delete tag]] should be placed on the redirect, and all pages that redirect or link to that page will need pointed to the new page. Primarily, the admin who delete's the redirect is responsible for this. Also note that admins can move an article without leaving a redirect, but again, they are responsible for any links to the original page.

 ===Changes to the new page===
 The page should be checked for any incorrect formatting and information (such as article icons and the bolded title reference in the opening paragraph).
