In Game Rules links trying to triple redirect

In Game Rules has links for Elysian Law and M'chekian Law that point to the redirect: Pg:In Game Rules, that pointed to another redirect: In Game Rules, that points to Rules:Specific Rules:In-Game Rules, which has the actual links to In-Game Rules: Elysia and In-Game Rules: Mikona. Even if MediaWiki allowed this (it stops at the second redirect), it is very silly.

This section should either have a single link to In-Game Rules, in case more nations get them, or simply change both links to point directly to Rules:Specific_Rules:In-Game_Rules:_Elysia and Rules:Specific_Rules:In-Game_Rules:_Mikona, and more can be added if they happen. Then the redirect pages should be put up for deletion, since they are only used by this page.

Since I can't edit this page, I am changing the Pg:In Game Rules redirect to point to Rules:Specific Rules:In-Game Rules, which will at least get the links working again (with an extra step to get there). If/when this section is updated (whichever way I suggested), that redirect can be deleted. I'll mark the second redirect as a candidate for deletion as well, since it will not be used after this.

I crossed out my thought about making the In Game Rules redirect a candidate for deletion, since it is still something users may search for, and therefore useful.

And I just remembered redirects aren't something that can be candidates for deletion anyway. Yup, one of those brain fart nights.
