Translate extension breakage; redirects needed

I sub-page-with-redirects moved Wikimedia Audiences to Wikimedia Product (as the department has been renamed). However, sadly the Translate extension doesn't do this, and so didn't back-create redirects or move the talk pages. This means ~1300 moved pages lack redirects. Many of these shouldn't get redirects (e.g.Translations:Wikimedia Audiences/92/hi to Translations:Wikimedia Product/92/hi — never used apart) and for some it's less important (e.g. Wikimedia Audiences/zh to Wikimedia Product/zh — people just use Special:MyLanguage/), but a bunch should. I've made some manually, but does anyone have a bot they want to run to fix this?

I'm happy to use JJMC89 bot to create the redirects.

just to double check, would you be okay with every page in the tree of "Translations:Wikimedia Product/*/*" getting a redirect from "Translations/Wikimedia Audiences/*/*"? Otherwise I would need to filter the list and I'm not sure what you do or don't want. Either way, there are 1206 pages that would be linked to - see User:DannyS712/sandbox

There is no need to create redirects for "Translations:*" pages.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Nevermind though, it seems that JJMC89 bot is already doing it

Triple redirects. See https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:PrefixIndex&prefix=Wikimedia_Audiences/2018_Product_points_of_view/

Sorry about that. I fixed some other cases.

Jdforrester (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Fixed.

Mainspace is done.
