A redirect will only be followed once by the software. As such, a redirect page that redirects to another redirect page will not work as intended. When this happens, readers will be redirected to the redirect page, rather than being directed to the final destination. For example, if page ABC redirects to DEF, which redirects to GHI, visiting the page ABC will take you to the redirect page for DEF, rather than to GHI. This is to prevent infinite redirect loops where two or more redirects point to each other. Double redirects usually occur when a page gets moved to a new title, then gets moved to yet another title. The first redirect created in the page move sequence will now point to a redirect page instead of the final destination, and thus be considered a double redirect.
