Help:Redirect

A redirect is when one types into the Search bar, something that does not match the exact title of the desired page, but this automatically redirects the viewer to the page. However, the Wiki doesn't just know what to redirect, it is up to Users to create redirects based on what is likely to be typed in to find certain pages. For example, there are many redirects to the Super Smash Bros. Brawl page, such as when a person searches for Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Super Smash Bros Brawl, etcetera. Even these minor differences need redirects to help people find the right page.

This is how to make a redirect:

As an example, if one wishes to make A a redirect to B, he or she must do the following:

1. Type "A" in the search bar.
2. Create the article titled "A", with the only content of the page being: #redirect[[B]].
3. Save the page. You can then test it by typing into the search bar the redirect you just made, and it should go to the desired page.

Once the redirect has been saved, the content on the page will appear as follows:

After this, the redirect is complete. Please do not create joke redirects such as "noob" going to a certain User, or any other jokes of this sort. These will be deleted and the creator may receive a warning or even a block.
