some titles are just redirects , ie the same type o
articles that should be redirected , the contain one
line 

#REDIRECT [[article name]]

if the article is a redirect , a new redirect should
be generated to the original article , not to the
redirect  , ie , redirects dont have a recursive
forwarding capabilty.
