Help:Redirect

A redirect is a page that automatically forwards a user to another page that is similar. For example, searching the page “Captain” will automatically send the user to leader.

Here is how a redirect looks:



Making a redirect
Making a redirect is as simple as typing, with   being the page that the redirect should link to. If anything is typed above this code then the redirect will fail, although typing something under it will just make the content under it harder to access. If you are redirected to a different page, then there will be a notice (typically near the top of the page) that notifies you what page you were redirected from. Redirects are also made automatically when moving pages.

General
User and user talk redirects can exist for users who had been active on the wiki under one name and later changed their username but should not be made otherwise. On the other hand, File, talk, and category redirects should never be made, and those made automatically from moving a page should have delete added as soon as all links to the old name are changed to the new name.

To make a redirect permanent, use nodelete below the code and specify why it should be kept.
