See page for a WikiProject Redirect guide on writing good redirects.
A redirect is a page with no content other than an entry in the form:
#REDIRECT link in internal link style
If the link is to an existing page in the same project, going to the redirect (by means of a link, the URL, or the Go button) results in the new page, just like following the link, except that the browser shows the original URL, and the new page shows a redirection message below the title. (To get the canonical URL in your browser's address bar, click the article tab.)
For example, if somebody goes to: Help:Redirection, then they will end up at this page instead, and the top of the page will look like:
Help:Redirect<h1>
From Meta<h3>
(Redirected from Help:Redirection)(etc) </blockquote>
If the link is to a non-existing page in the same project, or to a page in another project, one simply arrives at the redirect page.
As a simple way to avoid problems with infinite recursion, if the redirect target is another redirect page, the second redirect is not applied.
When a page called for inclusion is a redirect page, the redirect target is included instead, with the same parameters, without any redirect message. Again, a double redirect does not work.
Me dull. You smart. That's just what I neeedd.
Play informative for me, Mr. internet witerr.

[edit]Creating a redirect
If you're creating a new redirect, start a new page, write #REDIRECT [[pagename]] (or #redirect [[pagename]]) at the top of the page, where pagename is the name of the target page. Here is an example. If you're replacing an existing page with a redirect, for example after merging a duplicate page, go to the page, edit it, and replace the existing text with #REDIRECT [[pagename]].
Extra text after the #REDIRECT command and link is ignored. It is rendered in preview only, see [1] and [2]. Category-tags are not ignored. If a category is set, the redirect-page is listed in the category it belongs to, see e.g. Template:Tim. When following the link from the category page to the redirect page then as usual the redirect is applied.
The page will not redirect if there is anything on the page before the redirect. Also, there must be no spaces between the # and the REDIRECT. An edit summary is automatically provided, with the text according to MediaWiki:Autoredircomment, but only if no edit summary is supplied (as opposed to the automatic edit summary in section editing, which can be supplemented by the user).
After you create a redirect, you get sent to a page with the string "&redirect=no" in the URL. Thus the just created redirect page is shown, not the page to which it redirects. To see your redirect working, use your address bar to delete that part of the URL. Alternatively, create a link on another page to your redirect, and then follow that link.
When creating new redirects, bear in mind that creating too many redirects can clutter up the search results page, which can hinder users. Also, don't spend too much time creating redirects - often it's more important to spend time improving the quality of the target page. A piped link is another way to make a link to a page with a name which does not occur in the first page.
A code like %70 in a redirect disables it, although the link works from the redirect page.
[edit]Changing a redirect
Click on a link to the redirect page. Then look for the "
(redirected from source page)" link at the top of the page you've been redirected to. Click on the "source page" link. You will be taken to a page looking something like:Pagename
From project name ...
#REDIRECT [[''target page'' ]]Then click Edit this page. You can then either change the target of the redirect or replace the redirect with a brand new page.
Another way to do the same thing: Go to the target page, and click "What links here". This will show you all the back-links from that page, including redirects. To change a redirect, click on it, and then click on Edit this page as above.
The redirect page shows the canonical form of the target, unlike its preview page, which renders the link in the usual way, compare [3] with the preview of [4].
[edit]Deleting a redirect
Administrators can delete redirects in the same way as any other page. There may be project-specific guidelines on when this is appropriate.
[edit]Interwiki redirects and redirects to special pages
Interwiki redirects and redirects to special pages have been disabled, try e.g. Help:Interwiki redirect demo and Help:Redirect to special page demo.
Use direct interwiki links (or direct links to Special pages) without redirect, or a soft redirect (non-automatic): a page with "See ...", e.g. w:Wikipedia:Enhanced Recent Changes.
I just hope whoever writes these keeps wriitng more!
I came, I read this artlice, I conquered.
[edit]Images linking to a page
There are ways to make an image link to a specified page, some which work especially well on Mediawiki sites that support embedding external images. For possibilities see Help:Navigational image.
Wow! Great thkinnig! JK
[edit]Redirect and/or link to non-existing page
When B is a subtopic of A, and B does not have its own page, or at least not with additional info, there are the following possibilities:
- redirect B to A, use the backlink to go from A to B (disadvantage: not very inviting to create a new content page B; inconvenient if A has many backlinks)
- link A to B ("red link") as invitation or preparation for creating page B; use the backlink to go from B to A (disadvantage: not obvious for newbie, much less convenient than automatic redirect, especially if B has many backlinks)
- both (indirect self-link on A) - after applying the link from A through B back to A, use the link in the redirect message to go from A to B (for detecting a redirect see above; the method is useful for temporary use during clean-up, but not for permanent use; also, there is no distinction between a redirect back, and an onward redirect) (disadvantage, as far as not yet mentioned: not obvious for newbie)
- ditto but with a soft redirect from B to A, i.e. a page only containing something like "See [[A]]"; one can see at A that B is very short using the stub feature (disadvantages: a soft redirect is non-standard; people who do not know about its reason may change it in a regular redirect; is a little less convenient than automatic redirect; requires stub feature setting)
- B is a redirect, link from A to B with "redirect=no", or link to B's edit page, e.g. Template and start page Template, respectively.
In the 3rd and 4th case, especially if A has a list of links to pages B, one can mark the links with more info, e.g. by bolding, and explain the marking.
Times are changing for the better if I can get this oninle!
