A redirect is a page that, when searched, redirects you to article that it thinks you're talking about.
EX: the phrase "Flight 180" redirects to the article "Volee Airlines Flight 180"
Redirects make searching easier for everyone. Simple things like Terry doesn't even redirect to Terry Chaney. So what I ask of you is if you think a search should redirect to an article, then create a redirect! :D
How to create a redirect page: (if you don't already know how)[]
- Create an article
- Insert a numbered list (there's a button for that in teh HUD button thungies)
- Type REDIRECT, in all caps
- Insert a space, then type the article you want to direct to
So your redirect page should look like this:
- REDIRECT Article you want to redirect to
Note:[]
- Please don't abuse redirecting by creating pages such as "annoying whining little bitch" to redirect Wendy Christensen.
- Renaming pages initially creat redirect pages, so there's no need to create a redirect page when you rename an article.
That's all! Thanks!
