Description:
On MediaWiki wikis that allow redirects to Special pages, it's possible to set up a redirect loop. I've tested redirecting my own userpage to [[Special:Mypage]] (on a private wiki); this creates a redirect loop (that was detected by Firefox, which stopped with an error message informing me of it after a while). I suspect redirecting my talkpage to [[Special:Mytalk]] would have had the same effect, although I didn't test this. ([[Special:Random]] doesn't return redirects, and [[Special:RandomRedirect]] puts redirect=no into the URL, so they don't cause problems.)
