[WikiEN-l] Confusing message

[Timwi]

Hi,

first of all, thanks to Angela for her reply to my previous question.

So, as I carried on browsing around for information, I came across this:
http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Defective_redirects

It says on that page:
	"Please don't try to fix these by hand.

What does that mean? Are they going to be fixed by some sort of 
automated bot? If so, why is that list even there? I'm confused.

Thanks,
Timwi
